books that approach the topic of (in)sanity from a non-Western or decolonial perspective. suggestions (or corrections, if I’m mistaken about any of the current books) always welcome!

Classic books by U.S. BIPOC/fem/LGBTQIA Authors. Inspired by my post in US classic lit quest, I wanted a place to share all the wonderful recommendations by the PB community from the forum! 'Classic' refers to enduring, high-quality works that have stood the test of time, featuring universal themes, memorable characters, and artistic merit that remain relevant and insightful about the human condition across generations, often studied for their cultural significance and literary excellence.

Literature featuring indigenous authors from the Americas and Pacific. Fiction from across all genres by First Nations of Canada and the US, Māori, Aboriginal Australian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Papua New Guinean and other Pacific Island indigenous peoples. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you 💜

I'm coming at this from a Canadian Metis point of view and I welcome other suggestions for the list.

shoutout to r/IndianCountry for recs

disclaimer: I am not Indigenous myself, just someone who went looking for a list like this and found a gap. I have found the books for this list on Indigenous-run sites and online spaces, including related lists on pb.

Always open to recommendations!
