Amnesty Book Club

The Amnesty International Book Club features diverse fiction books with human rights themes. At the beginning of each year, the Book Club Committee selects six books. Every two months, the Book Club Committee publishes a new Discussion Guide for each book, including background information on the human rights themes raised in the book, questions for discussion, and relevant ways for students to take action for human rights.

To engage the Book Club community and deepen understanding, the Amnesty Book Club Committee also invites the authors of all selected books to join the Book Club Community for a live event hosted online. During the event, attendees meet the author and can ask questions about their work. Visit the Amnesty International Book Club web page to join and view past Discussion Guides and recordings of author events with Giller Prize-winners and Nobel Prize finalists.
