When Justine Sacco tweeted, "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding, I'm white!" she could not have imagined the Twitterstorm that would follow. By the time her plane landed in Africa, tens of thousands of strangers were calling for her head or, at the very least, her job. These days, it feels like anyone can be '#cancelled' for some slight or another. However, performative outrage does little to help the victims of discrimination. While it's easy to point out the overt acts of racism, it's really the cumulative micro-aggressions and systemic problems that can wear a person down. Members Only explores this concept through the eyes of Professor Raj Bhatt, an Indian immigrant who suddenly finds himself in hot water when he makes a joke in poor taste. Compounding problems, Raj becomes labeled as a "racist/reverse racist" when a group of students report him for making some controversial remarks during class. It was very interesting to read the story from Raj's perspective, especially as we see how Raj's past helped shape his views of America today. The narrator seems very much like an avatar for the author, who also happens to be a college professor, to voice his frustrations and experiences living as a person of color in this country. Members Only is a very timely and relevant novel. Thank you to Bookish First and Mariner/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for sending me an advance copy of this book!
