Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?
Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy’s counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other’s trust, and come to see that what they’ve been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.
With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers. Small Great Things is a remarkable achievement from a writer at the top of her game.
與書無關:覺得種族歧視小題大做的人不必慶幸,它會以另一種方式發生在你身上,到時候你還不反抗?
評分職業道德和種族歧視摻雜在一起,很精彩的設定。最後結尾有些戲劇性有些簡單瞭。歧視無處不在,主動的和被動的,不相信歧視會消失,隻要能剋製就算勝利瞭
評分We don't need equality, instead we need equity. Perfect timing for 我司最近的那篇關於女性的討論以及美國最近的白人至上。在中國這種單一文化背景下長大的,並不會多為這種問題而憂慮。但是我覺得華人應該更加政治敏感一些。
評分在Audible上聽完的第一本書,用一種比較巧妙的角度探討瞭種族問題,不會太沉重但又引人思考。這本書比較長,錄音版是16個多小時
評分刷新瞭我對種族歧視的認知,主動被動,有意識無意識都是傷害!PICOULT還是厲害!花瞭三個多月總算啃完瞭原著~
