The Hate U Give (THUG) is a powerful 2017 young adult novel by Angie Thomas and its acclaimed 2018 film adaptation, both centering on Starr Carter, a Black teenager navigating life in two worlds (her poor neighborhood and a wealthy prep school) who witnesses the fatal police shooting of her unarmed friend, Khalil, forcing her to find her voice amidst national attention, community pressure, and threats to speak the truth, exploring themes of racism, justice, and identity. The title comes from Tupac Shakur’s concept of “THUG LIFE” (The Hate U Give Little Infants F***s Everybody), emphasizing how societal hate affects Black youth.
