Apr 19 – Langara Book Club: The Book of Negroes

The Book of Negroes

In anticipation of Lawrence Hill’s keynote at the 2018 Langara Academic Plan Mini-Conference, join members of the Langara community for a series of stimulating discussions about Hill’s award-winning 2007 novel, The Book of Negroes. Meet Hill’s unforgettable heroine, Aminita Diallo, and journey with her across continents, through slavery to freedom in a novel that The Globe and Mail has called “a masterpiece.” Whether you read the novel years ago or are discovering it for the first time, you are invited to take part in informal, stimulating discussions facilitated by Langara faculty from the English and Library departments.

Light refreshments will be provided.

The first 5 participants to sign up for any one of the sessions (Feb, March or April) will receive a free copy of The Book of Negroes.
