The Amnesty Book Club was started in January 2014, to encourage Canadians to read good books and become more involved in human rights. Each month, a noted guest reader chooses a compelling book that features some human rights issue. When you sign up, we will email you each month a comprehensive Discussion Guide featuring:
• information about the author and the guest reader
• questions designed to
promote discussion
• an Amnesty International action you can take related to the human rights issue the book raises
• other information sources. You’ll also receive invitations to participate in webinars between featured and guest authors. We’ll be taking questions from the audience, so get your questions ready. Along with the webinars, you’ll also have access to our podcast archive, and news on upcoming events in your area. You can join an online discussion of our book picks here on our page or over on Goodreads. If you’re already in a book club, we hope you will pick one of our books one month and also participate in taking the human rights action for that month. If you want to start a Book Club, you can use our reading list and we will provide you with tips on how to get started. Visit us at www.AmnestyBookClub.ca to browse past selections, find more resources, and learn how to become a partner with our program.
