Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed

Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed by Dashka Slater is a non-fiction book that delves into the impact of a racist social media account on a group of teenagers. The narrative explores the real-life consequences of online hate speech and bigotry, as it follows the story of how a single social media account with racist content affects the lives of several young individuals. The book examines themes of accountability, justice, and the complexities of navigating social issues in the digital age. It also addresses the challenges faced by the affected teenagers, including the emotional and psychological toll of being targeted by racism, as well as the broader implications for society when such hate is allowed to proliferate online. Slater's work is a poignant reminder of the power of words and the importance of taking responsibility for our actions in an increasingly connected world.
