IC Book Club Program
“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.” - Jhumpa Lahiri
The Intercultural Center is launching a Book Club to the Swarthmore College Community. Each book that we will read throughout the program will highlight various cultures to enrich the understanding of other cultures and perspectives through readings, discussions, and shared communal experiences. This year, we will be partnering with the Black Culture Center as we read “Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
