A Study Guide for Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give

Angie Thomas

2017

Introduction

Philosophical, intense, and timely, The Hate U Give (2017), the best-selling and award-winning novel by Angie Thomas, centers on the killing of an unarmed African American teenager by a white police officer. The novel is narrated by Starr, the young woman who is with the murder victim when the killing occurs. She is faced with difficult decisions about what to say to whom and when to say it as the episode causes upheaval in the community of Garden Heights and draws nationwide attention.

A problem going back to the days of Jim Crow laws and earlier, lethal police violence toward unarmed African American citizens has become a flash point in ongoing conversations and controversies surrounding race and racism in the United States in the twenty-first century. With her novel, Thomas sheds light on how racist attitudes underlie the institutional disregard for African American lives in many police departments, as the list of real-life victims in the final chapter attests. Although she never uses the term, in the trajectory of her novel and in her closing address, Thomas points to the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement in organizing the activist response to present-day injustices against African American communities. In the acknowledgments, she addresses readers in all ‘the Gardens' of the world: your voices matter, your dreams matter, your lives matter. Readers should be aware that the novel contains a scene of disturbing violence, scattered mentions of sexuality, and the recurring use of explicit language.

Author Biography

Thomas was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1988, and lived in the city's Georgetown neighborhood. Her mother was a schoolteacher. A pivotal experience came when she was playing in Aaron Henry Park as a six-year-old and two young men took out guns and started shooting at each other. As bullets whizzed around and her mother watched helplessly, the young Angie was able to escape unharmed. In response, her mother took her to the library and encouraged her to get into books, both to avoid lethal threats at the time and to find her way to a safe place in the future. Eventually inspired to make up stories to tell her mother, by the third grade Thomas was given time every week to read her stories to her class. Thomas took her talent with words to another realm in her teenage years, becoming a locally famous rapper and being featured in the teen magazine Right On! After graduating from high school, Thomas went to Belhaven University, a Christian liberal arts school in Jackson, which put her in a situation much like the fictional Starr's. Coming from a mostly black inner-city neighborhood, she was attending a mostly white school in the suburbs and having to learn how to navigate racial differences.

Thomas earned her bachelor of fine arts degree in 2011, but before then she was moved to respond creatively to the unjust killing in 2009 of Oscar Grant, a black twenty-two-year-old who not only was unarmed but also was lying face down in a metro station in Oakland, California, with an officer's knee in his back. Thomas's initial response was a short story, and she restrained herself from expanding it because she needed to limit the scope for an assignment. After graduating, Thomas began working
