TORONTO -- As marches and demonstrations take places across Canada and the U.S., book reviewers and storeowners are seeing an increased interest in books that explore anti-racism and the concept of white privilege.
Liburd started to notice an increase in online engagement over the weekend. This was followed by a flurry of calls and emails throughout the week from people asking for more information on different books, as well as recommendations.“Most are new to the bookstore and… from different races and cultures,” Liburd explained. “It’s definitely a change that we’ve seen over the last week.
While some of this increase in business can be attributed to the gradual reopening of bookstores after months of closures, Genner said there is no doubt that sales are also being impacted by what’s happening in the U.S. She has noticed an astronomical increase in interaction with her Instagram account, which is where most of her online engagement takes place.
“There is no time that is too early to introduce books that have characters in them that are different from [your child],” she said. “The sooner that you can, in your own home, expose your children to things that are different than your communities, different than your nuclear family, [and] different than your culture, the sooner they can build lifelong equity that will make lasting changes in society.
“We’re seeing an increase in people that don’t normally shop with us,” she explained. “I think that a lot of that has got to do with the pandemic as well.”
