A Good Time for the Truth by Sun Yung Shin
A 2020 selection of One Book, One Minnesota Reading this book in community offers some Minnesotans the opportunity to see their experiences broadly shared and others a chance to educate themselves--and to discover ways to act on their convictions. In this provocative book, sixteen of Minnesota's best writers provide a range of perspectives on what it is like to live as a person of color in Minnesota. They give readers a splendid gift: the gift of touching another human being's inner reality, behind masks and veils and politeness. They bring us generously into experiences that we must understand if we are to come together in real relationships.Minnesota communities struggle with some of the nation's worst racial disparities. As its authors confront and consider the realities that lie beneath the numbers, this book provides an important tool to those who want to be part of closing those gaps.
