SUMMARY:2/6: Pages for Progress - A Nonfiction Book Club at Booksweet
DESCRIPTION:2/6: Pages for Progress – A Nonfiction Book Club at Booksweet \nThis non-fiction book club gathers quarterly and is rooted in community education\, collective action\, and a deep love for the people that make us great: YOU! \nEach Pages For Progress meeting will begin with a discussion of a non-fiction book\, followed by an activity that gives actionable steps toward something we can do in our community to support the causes that matter to the group. \nFor the first quarter in 2026 we are meeting in February\, Black History Month\, and focusing our discussion on race. We’ll be reading Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad. We hope you’ll join us this February. \nIf you order a copy of the book through the store\, you get a 10% discount. Give us a call\, an email\, or stop in to place your order. \nAbout the book \nThe New York Times and USA Today bestseller! This eye-opening book challenges you to do the essential work of unpacking your biases\, and helps white people take action and dismantle the privilege within themselves so that you can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color\, and in turn\, help other white people do better\, too. \n“Layla Saad is one of the most important and valuable teachers we have right now on the subject of white supremacy and racial injustice.”—New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert \nBased on the viral Instagram challenge that captivated participants worldwide\, Me and White Supremacy takes readers on a 28-day journey\, complete with journal prompts\, to do the necessary and vital work that can ultimately lead to improving race relations. \nUpdated and expanded from the original workbook (downloaded by nearly 100\,000 people)\, this critical text helps you take the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts\, sharing moving stories and anecdotes\, and including expanded definitions\, examples\, and further resources\, giving you the language to understand racism\, and to dismantle your own biases\, whether you are using the book on your own\, with a book club\, or looking to start family activism in your own home. \nThis book will walk you step-by-step through the work of examining: \n\nExamining your own white privilege\nWhat allyship really means\nAnti-blackness\, racial stereotypes\, and cultural appropriation\nChanging the way that you view and respond to race\nHow to continue the work to create social change\n\nAwareness leads to action\, and action leads to change. For readers of White Fragility\, White Rage\, So You Want To Talk About Race\, The New Jim Crow\, How to Be an Anti-Racist and more who are ready to closely examine their own beliefs and biases and do the work it will take to create social change. \n“Layla Saad moves her readers from their heads into their hearts\, and ultimately\, into their practice. We won’t end white supremacy through an intellectual understanding alone; we must put that understanding into action.”—Robin DiAngelo\, author of New York Times bestseller White Fragility \nSo… what’s this book club like?  \nThis is our second meeting of the quarterly Pages for Progress book club! Since this book club focuses on non-fiction books with an emphasis on community action\, we touch base on our ground rules for safety at the beginning of each meeting. We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter discussing our thoughts on the book choice\, we work through one activity together as a group\, focusing on ways to support one another and the communities we participate in. \nAt the end of the meeting\, the group discusses the next session’s focus topic and book choice. Feel free to pitch a topic or book you think is fitting for the next quarter! For this club\, the organizers make the final decision on our next book selection. \nWhile we will have water and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options)\, Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nWe hope to see you there!
