內容簡介
《致所有逝去的聲音》
2018年改編同名電影「你給的恨」
在粉飾的平等之下，有多少無辜性命默默消逝？
譁然之後，又有多少人能夠真正獲得正義？聚焦美國非裔種族議題與警察暴力！
那天晚上，警察攔下他們的車，在星兒面前射殺了手無寸鐵的柯立歐。
槍擊案件登上新聞，媒體和檢方審判的卻是死去的十六歲男孩。
流氓、毒販、死有餘辜。只因為他們是黑人，就被社會視為潛在罪犯。
在調查期間，星兒一家不僅受到警方壓迫，當地黑幫更送來死亡威脅。
她還沒有時間走出傷痛，令人窒息的恐懼及憤怒便籠罩她的生活。
她受夠了，他們全都受夠了。
為了自己、為了柯立歐，為了所有在不公不義之下犧牲的生命，星兒決定用盡全力反擊──
這一次，她要挺身而出，為自己發聲！
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
And donˊt miss On the Come Up, Angie Thomasˊs powerful follow-up to The Hate U Give.
