20 Global Readings to Empower Your Students
Posted on March 13, 2025
Update (February 2026): WWB Campus originally published this reading list of affirming literature in January 2025. In light of recent events within many US communities—escalated immigration sweeps, violence toward community members, and widespread protests—we decided to resurface and update this list as a resource for classrooms. As one Minnesota educator put it, "fear is a thief of focus," and distressing events in our communities affect the way teachers and students show up to teach and learn. We hope this list, featuring texts that challenge xenophobia and racism, explore migration narratives, and honor the right to protest, will ground and empower classroom discussions. —Eds.
