What is the value added of reading different genres/types of books? The literary genres that we are reading in this class offer different approaches to addressing social issues: true stories, imaginary stories, and social analysis. Each brings a different dimension and perspective of social change.

Fiction brings the “voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can see through our fear-stricken society… to other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope…, writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries, the realists of a larger reality.” – Ursula K Le Guin

The magic behind different types of books Narrative Non-Fiction Personal stories of journeys to break social barriers Books that recount factual stories, windows into people’s personal journeys Memoir/biography/creative non-fiction – stories based on personal events or research Ethnography – story told by a researcher to provide insight into people’s lives and context Investigative journalism – story on a community with the aim of bringing about change Fiction A deepening understanding of the complexity of the human experience Books that describe imaginary events and people – providing “alternatives to how we live” Novel – a fictitious narrative representing a story with some degree of realism Science fiction/fantasy – uses magic and other supernatural forms/ fantasy is a form of sci-fi that often involves speculations based on current or future science or technology Social Analysis Issues, activism, and visions for social change Books that systematically examine a social issue with the aim of prompting change Activist biography – for the purposes of this class, books that tell the stories of activists, including the analysis of a specific social issue and vision for social change from their perspective Social analysis – often written by a researcher, a scholar, a policy maker, or other professional
