[CASL-L] alternatives to the The Color Purple

[Genevieve Nowosad]

Are they looking for alternatives because of the reading level, content,
just bored with teaching the same book year after year? Are you looking for
books on feminism or racism -- both? Here are some suggestions though...

*Chains* by Laurie Halse Anderson
*Sugar* by Jewell Parker Rhodes
*Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe* by Fannie Flagg
*Beloved* by Toni Marrison
*A Raisin in the Sun* by Lorraine Hansberry
*Native Son* by Richard Wright
*The Help* by Kathryn Stockett
*Invisible Man* by Ralph Ellison
*The Awakening* by Kate Chopin
