Reclaiming the Classics (U.S. edition)
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.






You & Me Against White Supremacy
Me & White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad, and books from as many of the authors mentioned therein that I could find. (Including books from the Further Learning section.)






Native American Classic Literature
Native American/Indigenous classic literature from across Turtle Island๐ข๐ชถ
so far Iโve tried to stick to works published pre-2020 for the purposes of this 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!
