Global Reads Webinar with Author Lesley Younge

Once a month in the spring, the World Area Book Awards (Américas Award, Africana Book Award, Freeman Book Award, Middle East Book Award, and the South Asia Book Award) sponsor a 60 minute webinar on a book recognized by one of the awards. Each webinar features a presentation by an award-winning author with discussion on how to incorporate multicultural literature into the classroom. This session features Monica Younge, one of the authors of the groundbreaking book Nearer My Freedom: The Interesting Life of Olaudah Equiano by Himself, a found poem using the words of Olaudah.
