俗话说“世界上最有趣的人，有一半住在纽约，另一半正在想办法来纽约。” 对于扭腰这么有趣的城市，不知道大家的summer holiday准备怎么度过？即将入学的新生们，还可以来参加Welcome Week，发几张图大家随意感受下~
而像主页君这种已经没有summer holiday 也没有Welcome Week的人，也只能跟朋友去Prospect Park的“A Summer Movie Under the Stars”放松放松，毕竟是150th anniversary，所以还是蛮有意思的。
不过大家放松的同时，也不要忘了充实自己。
最近，NYU News发起了一项活动，要求各校区的领导推荐一些有关探索历史，边缘化群体，社会公平等方面的书籍、音乐、电影等。
为了让同学们更好的了解美国历史，文化，宗教，以便于大家的融入和学习，主页君吐血整理了这份由NYU大学老师给出的summer Reading List（仍在更新），手已废，记得收藏哦！

关于种族主义的书籍
Get Out
I always take note of films created by Black people that are not pigeonholed as “black films.” I also especially pay attention to those where Black people and non-Black people come out of the theater having seen the film in a completely different way. Get Out is one of those films.
The Ferguson Report: Department of Justice
Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department
Anyone who want to understand what systemic, structural racism looks like should read this report. It’s not a novel and doesn’t even have the kind of narrative hook of great nonfiction, but it is riveting in how it excavates the layers a system deliberately designed to prey on people of color, particularly poor people of color.
The work of Tanzina Vega
Tanzina Vega writes on race and inequality for CNN. Vega’s work provides a broad survey and deep understanding about the role that race plays in everyday life in the U.S.. She is a journalist motivated not by some outmoded sense of “objectivity,” but by an ethic of fairness that drives her to fearlessly confront today’s toughest questions around race, power and privilege.

关于犹太人的电影和书籍
The Torah with commentary
There are many translations, with commentary, of the five central “books” of the Jewish people, which tells the story (as interpreted over many generations of commentary in the margins, footnotes, and explanatory essays) of our people. My personal favorite is the relatively recent volume The Torah: A Women’s Commentary by Tamara Cohn Eskenazi and Andrea L. Weiss.
Response to Modernity: A History of the Reform Movement in Judaism by Michael A. Meyer
This historical volume traces the origins of the Reform Jewish movement, something close to my own heart, and its contributions to contemporary Jewish life.
Shoah, a film by Claude Lanzmann
This six-hour-long film documentary tells the story of the systematic murder of six million Jews under Nazi rule in Europe in the twentieth century. The footage is raw and harrowing, and viewing it had a major impact on my own personal Jewish journey toward empathy and activism.
The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel
Rabbi Heschel’s work is central to understanding the contribution of a day of rest.
High Anxiety, a film by Mel Brooks
Not kidding, my own rabbi, when I was undergoing conversion to Judaism, stressed the importance of Jewish humor, chiefly the works of Mel Brooks, which highlight the Jewish tradition and investment in parody (see, for example, High Anxiety) and the underdog perspective in comedy.
