A Latina author and New York Times contributor responded after students at Georgia Southern University burned a copy of her new book after she gave a talk on campus.
Crucet spoke at the school's performing arts center on Wednesday about her novel"Make Your Home Among Strangers" that follows the story of a Hispanic girl, inspired by her own struggles growing up in a predominantly white environment. "I came here because I was invited, and I talked about white privilege because it's a real thing that you are actually benefiting from right now in even asking this question," Crucet responded, per the paper.
In her Friday statement, Crucet said the student had a"hostile reaction" that"closely mirrored the exchange that I recount in the essay itself. it was very surreal and strange." She continued that"after students began shouting back and forth at each other," she asked faculty to find the student who asked the question"and other students who were similarly upset, and follow up with them because a compassionate and continuing conversation needed to occur.
Later Wednesday evening after the event, a video was posted on Twitter that showed a group of students allegedly burning her book. Students at Georgia Southern University burned a book at Eagle Village, written by @crucet, after a Q&A session at her lecture Wednesday became heated.Article by @sarahbsmithh and @McclainBaxley pic.twitter.com/OkDifF8Zbu
