Echte Amerikaanse jongens
by Jason Reynolds, Brendan Kiely
In All American Boys we follow two point of views. The first is of Rashad, who gets abused by the police while trying to purchase a bag of chips. The second is of Quinn, who witnesses the police brutality.
Rashad's point of view mostly shows the reality of police brutality many Black Americans, if not Black people around the world, face. Quinn's chapters show the white person's point of view: the white privilege, how easy it is to ignore it all and move on with your day, while that's not the case for BIPOC.
The dual narration is what makes this book so strong and powerful, especially for a casual reader. So if you have read All American Boys, I would say recommend it to others as well. Let your friends and family and peers empathise with Rashad and learn with Quinn.
