ABSTRACT
In India Hill Brown’s debut novel, The Forgotten Girl, she offers an accessible middle-grade story that invites teachers and students to grapple with the impact of systemic racism from the past to the present. This chapter argues that by discussing and studying The Forgotten Girl through the lens of critical geographies of race, educators can guide students to think about the connections between race, space, and power, bridging the past to the present to encourage readers to dream about the possibilities of the future.
