The University of California, Berkeley, has released its 2024 summer reading list, which revolves around the theme of “Decisive Moments.”

Topics covered in the books include America’s alleged “systemic racism,” “whiteness,” and the life of George Floyd. The books were selected by Berkeley faculty, staff, and students.

“The list is intended as a welcome to new students arriving on campus for the fall semester,” Berkeley’s website states.

One of the books, “His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Fight for Racial Justice,” is a biography of George Floyd that claims that “systematic racism affected every aspect of Floyd’s life.”

“The authors draw on over 400 interviews with people who knew George Floyd. We, too, are pleased to have the opportunity to get to know him,” the recommendation said.

The authors claim to place Floyd’s life “in the larger context of the deeply problematic history of institutional racism in America” ​​and examine “the Floyd family’s roots in slavery and sharecropping, the racial segregation of his Houston schools, the excessive police presence in his communities, the devastating traps of the prison system, and his attempts to break free from drug addiction.”

Another book, titled Heathen: Religion and Race in American History, supposedly traces “the development of the concept of ‘heathen’ against the backdrop of whiteness, Protestantism, and American triumphalism, and captures its widespread and pernicious effects: how it underlies so many dehumanizing impulses and rationalizes too many injustices—but all under the guise of paternalism.”

Berkeley has also included an archive of its summer reading lists since 1985. “Perhaps a relative or friend of yours who spent time here at Cal also found a formative moment on one of these earlier lists,” the website says.

Harvard University has also released a reading list for summer 2024, which includes, among other things, a book that argues that educators must “teach students about racial violence and oppression and show them how to create lasting change in their communities through radical citizen initiatives and movements.”

Campus reform has asked the University of California, Berkeley for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.
