Ebony Joy Wilkins

    Deze auteur duikt in thema's van identiteit en ergens bij horen, en onderzoekt de complexiteit van de adolescentie in een steeds ingewikkeldere wereld. Haar YA-romans laten lezers kennismaken met de ervaringen van jongeren die hun plek zoeken, waarbij de mix van kwetsbaarheid en kracht die deze levensfase definieert, wordt vastgelegd. De verhalen zijn opgebouwd met een scherp gevoel voor de psychologie van de personages, gericht op hoe de omgeving en sociale druk de zelfperceptie en keuzes vormen. De nadruk ligt op zelfontdekking en de reis van het omarmen van je eigen wortels.

When a white bus driver orders Claudette Colvin to give up her seat for a white passenger, she refuses to move.
