Week 3: (Nov. 11 to 15) – Be The Expert/Ask the Expert/Become the Expert (Katie @ Doing Dewey): Three ways to join in this week! You can either share three or more books on a single topic that you have read and can recommend (be the expert), you can put the call out for good nonfiction on a specific topic that you have been dying to read (ask the expert), or you can create your own list of books on a topic that you’d like to read (become the expert).
It’s time for Nonfiction November! This week I’ve chosen sort of a broad topic in the “Be the Expert” challenge: social justice in the United States. Looking through my nonfiction shelf, three different books that I wanted to share stuck out to me, and they all had in common criticisms of various aspects of America today.
Evicted is disturbing book about how the landlord/tenant relationship works. It’s super well-written and absolutely infuriating.
Dopesick is also infuriating and disturbing, but it’s about the immorality of some pharmaceutical companies — specifically in the lens of drug addiction. I didn’t quite finish reading this one, but that was definitely a me thing.
Policing the Black Man is an eye-opening look at the history of racism and criminal justice in America. It’s actually a collection of essays, so part of its strength is the breadth of viewpoints it’s able to provide.

Such an important topic! I really need to read Evicted soon. Dopesick was an incredible read but really so upsetting.

Great post! This is definitely a topic I’ve been interested in with nonfiction lately (though admittedly I haven’t been reading it as much as I’ve been adding it to my TBR…). I already have Evicted and Dopesick on my TBR and am really looking forward to getting to both, but I’ll have to check out the third book as well, it hasn’t really been on my radar!
