This year’s NICE project's selected books are: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Dracula by Bram Stoker, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, for the first time ever, we're sharing our behind-the-scenes discussions for our 2020 NICE project. More info about out annual NICE project: https://cearts.org/home/nice/.

Content Note: Written works, especially classics and books set in historical time periods, almost always contain problematic content: intolerance, prejudice, discrimination, and racism. This year’s books are: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Dracula by Bram Stoker, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. All of them possess elements of prejudice, intolerance, and racism, as well as classism, and violence and domestic abuse. In our pre-workshop podcast discussions, we’ve recorded several episodes that discuss racism and prejudice in general, and how to address problematic elements in classics and period books. Some of the questions we asked ourselves are: what’s really there? How do we view the book today vs when it was written/the setting? What is the value of reading books with problematic elements? For answers to those questions and more, listen to our podcast episodes available here: https://cearts.org/discussions-against-racism/
