By including social justice titles in their overall top ten list this year, the committee emphasizes the importance of narratives that tackle issues such as cultural irrelevance, structural exclusion, and disproportionality of injustices experienced by BIPOC youth. The age range of 9 to 21 suggests a broad spectrum of literature catering to various developmental stages, ensuring that the selected titles are relevant and engaging for a diverse audience within the specified age group. The focus on fiction, nonfiction, and social justice advocacy reflects a comprehensive approach to storytelling, encompassing different genres and perspectives.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The committee’s commitment to inclusivity is evident not only in the selection process but also in the involvement of young adults who have first-hand experience with the themes addressed. By actively seeking input from those who have lived through the challenges discussed in the literature, the committee ensures authenticity and relevance in their annual reading list. This approach not only enriches the selection process but also highlights the significance of direct engagement with the target audience.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Top Titles for 2024</span></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"> are:</span></p><div class="wp-block-freeform block-library-rich-text__tinymce mce-content-body mce-edit-focus html5-captions" id="editor-7a8372ae-9997-4c2f-ba50-34a6651057b6" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><figure class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #ff9900;"><img alt="" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" /><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-weight: 700;">Dreams: Visions of the Crow, Volume 1</span></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"> (ages 12-Up) written by Wanda John-Kehewin and illustrated by Nic</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">ole Marie Burton and Kielamel Sibal, published by Highwater Press (2023), won the </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #ff9900;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-weight: 700;">Top Title for Fiction</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">.</span></span></figure><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"> </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">Damon’s life has never been easy.

margin: 0px 0px 32px;">February 9, 2023 </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">SEATTLE, WA. – The In the Margins Book Awards (ITM) committee is pleased to announce their selection for overall top titles and Top Ten List for 2023. Selections by In the Margins are inclusive of stories written for youth between the ages of 9 and 21, in the categories of fiction, nonfiction, and social justice advocacy. Many books considered for this award are self-published and from smaller independent publishers. The<a href="https://inthemarginssite.blog/about-3/" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(to right, currentcolor 0%, currentcolor 100%); background-position: 0px 100%; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 100% 1px; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;"> committee’s charge</a> is inclusive of youth living a marginalized existence, with a specific focus on narratives and informational text that address the disproportionality of injustices experienced by BIPOC youth from the historical impact of cultural irrelevance and structural exclusion, which often finds them living in poverty, in the streets, in custody, or a cycle of all three. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">In addition to reading and discussing a multitude of book titles published over the previous 18 months of the award year, a unique selection experience of the committee is the input received from young adults who have also read and directly shared their opinions on the same book titles. Incorporating the enthusiastic response from youth who live the experiences of our charge is a vital component to generating this annual reading list which was initially intended as a selection tool for librarians who serve youth in juvenile detention facilities throughout the North American continent. Its use as a selection tool has since spread to community outreach programs and secondary schools throughout North America.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">Distribution bottlenecks from the previous two awards years was still the 2023 committee’s greatest challenge. Supply chain problems touched every aspect of book production, storage, and distribution, causing a significant shortage in the fulfillment of requested titles. It is also becoming harder to contact authors who self-publish, due to a growing concern to protect personal information that can be easily detected in search histories. A positive development and saving grace was the opening up, restart, and continuance of libraries, JD facilities’ outreach, and schools, which allow us to fulfill our charge, requiring direct feedback from youth who are members of underrepresented groups. Another saving grace was the diligent communications carried out between our committee with independent and major publishing houses in both the United States and Canada, as well as the self-published authors and small presses. All were aware of the sluggish distribution and went the distance with us when realizing the multiple requests being made. These efforts made it possible for our lists to truly reflect not only the worlds of the youth who are members of the underrepresented in our North American Diaspora, they once again made it possible for our lists to provide a mirrored documentation of the past year’s struggled demands for long-overdue changes to the social injustices that are still silenced and in need of a voice. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">With that as background, the <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Top 10 Titles </span>in our advocacy and YA categories for 2023 show deep roots in gender and sexual identity recognition, mental illness, and voices of adolescents who find themselves trapped in the social and political climate of our nation’s broken legal system.

The collaboration between wordsmith and artist brilliantly portrays the heaviness of a pandemic quarantine that forces people inside glued to their digital screens while juxtaposed against the protests and violence committed against others on the outside. Committee members express the need for contemporary fiction that shows the world through the eyes of young Black males as a “critical bridge to bring about empathy and normalize understandings for Black male youths who are highly targeted by society.” By highlighting <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ain’t Burned All the Bright, </em>such viewpoints can “reconstruct the meanings of why advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion say ‘no lives matter until Black lives matter.” </p></div></div><div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto 28%; grid-template-rows: auto;"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content" style="align-self: center; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; grid-area: 1 / 1 / auto / auto; padding: 0px 40.5938px; word-break: break-word;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom</em></span> (Older Teens and Up), written by Larry Miller with Laila Lacy, published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins (2022), won <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Top Title for Nonfiction</span>.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">When Larry Miller was 16, he belonged to a Philadelphia street gang, experiencing a life of run-ins with police and spending numerous time in jail, including a stint for murder. While in prison, he experienced restoration, leading him to earn a college degree and turn his life around. Larry Miller currently serves as the chairman of Michael Jordan’s Nike brand, residing on the West Coast. The committee believes in the power of restorative justice programs for juveniles, for it “encourages accountability and ownership of the crimes, and unproductive actions and mindsets…helping youths to understand the implications of their behavior better and take advantage of opportunities to lift and strengthen their self-belief, so as to aid development” into forward-thinking and better-functioning adults. Given the rise in the voices that advocate for broader use of restorative justice programs for adults and juvenile offenders, “it is critical to focus on a personality who has experienced a successful outcome in such programs, as evidenced in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom</em>.”</p></div><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media" style="align-self: center; box-sizing: inherit; grid-area: 1 / 2 / auto / auto; margin: 0px;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2842 size-full" data-attachment-id="2842" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2" data-large-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png?w=566" data-medium-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png?w=193" data-orig-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png" data-orig-size="566,880" data-permalink="https://inthemarginssite.blog/2023-top-ten-titles/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12-06-06-am-2/" sizes="(max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px" src="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png?w=566" srcset="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png 566w, https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png?w=96 96w, https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.06.06-am-2.png?w=193 193w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: unset; vertical-align: middle; width: 197.359px;" /></figure></div><div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile" style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; display: grid; grid-template-columns: 27% auto; grid-template-rows: auto;"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media" style="align-self: center; box-sizing: inherit; grid-area: 1 / 1 / auto / auto; margin: 0px;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-2811 size-full" data-attachment-id="2811" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am" data-large-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png?w=398" data-medium-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png?w=202" data-orig-file="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png" data-orig-size="398,592" data-permalink="https://inthemarginssite.blog/awards-list/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12-30-43-am/" sizes="(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px" src="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png?w=398" srcset="https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png 398w, https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png?w=101 101w, https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-22-at-12.30.43-am.png?w=202 202w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: unset; vertical-align: middle; width: 190.312px;" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content" style="align-self: center; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; grid-area: 1 / 2 / auto / auto; padding: 0px 41.1562px; word-break: break-word;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Don’t Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantánamo</em> </span>(Older Teens and Up), written<em style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </em>by Mansoor Adayfi, published by Hachette Books, an Imprint of Perseus Books, a subsidiary of Hachette Book Group, Inc.

Despite torture and a denial of the most basic human rights, this is a beautiful story of hope, perseverance, and triumph. The committee feels that the story of Mansoor Adayfi’s narrative is a stunning eye-opening account of what incarceration looked like for the 18-year-old innocent who was kidnapped while on a mission trip to Afghanistan, and incarcerated in one of the world’s most notorious incarceration facilities. The blatant mismanagement of this youth’s life “brings attention to the atrocities of incarceration young males of color face on a global scale,” making books such as <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Don’t Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantánamo</em> a must read for a first-hand account the prison industrial complex has beyond the walls of this nation.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;"></p></div></div><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 32px;">This year’s Top Ten List highlights the 43 titles that comprise the fiction, nonfiction, and advocacy and social justice lists posted on the<a href="https://inthemarginssite.wordpress.com/awards-list/" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(to right, currentcolor 0%, currentcolor 100%); background-position: 0px 100%; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 100% 1px; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;"> book award’s website</a>.
