Banned Books in Conversation: The Hate U Give
(Gesellschaftszimmer UG)

In response to the steep increase in book banning and attempted book challenges in the USA and beyond, the University of Münster’s Chairs for Book Studies and American Studies have co-founded “Banned Books Network Münster” (BBNM). Our purpose is to raise awareness of the increase in book banning, to create spaces for engagement with banned books, and to discuss the wider repercussions of these bans. Our events are inclusive in nature, and we hope to engage students, teachers, colleagues, and the wider reading public with our initiative.
Dr. Jennifer Gouck will lead a conversation about The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (2017), a Young Adult (YA) novel inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. The book is widely acclaimed for its portrayal of police violence and racism - and widely challenged and banned for the same reasons. Featuring on the American Library Association’s ‘Top 10 Most Challenged Books’ list in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021, The Hate U Give is a Coretta Scott King Honour book, a Printz Honour book, and was adapted into a film in 2018. In the German context, it received the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2018, the only literary award (across any genre) given by the German government.
