Campus Read 2010 Selection


The Campus Read Committee is pleased to announce the 2010 Campus Read selection ....

Outcasts United:
an American Town, a Refugee Team, and
One Woman's Quest to Make a Difference
by Warren St. John

Outcasts United
tells the story of the Fugees, a refugee soccer team, their coach, and the small town of Clarkston, Georgia, which became a refugee settlement center in the 1990s.

Bill Littlefield of NPR said, "If you only read one book over the next few months, it should be Outcasts United."

The bestseller was written by Warren St. John, a reporter for the New York Times, who also wrote Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: a Journey into the Heart of Fan Mania (2004).
