Recs if you like The Shoulders We Stand On: How Black and Brown people fought for change in the United Kingdom...

Books to fill the gaping voids made by our school systems.

Examining concepts of race, class, culture, ethnicity, colourism, separatism, belonging, supremacy, identity, & the effects of British colonialism.

Some books have these themes incidentally, but in most they are the core focus.

Suggestions welcome!

A collection of histories, memoirs, and historical fiction in anticipation of Black History Month here in the UK. Credit to blackhistorymonth.org.uk for some of these suggestions. If you have any recommendations, leave a comment.

will mostly contain books about historical events and will span from the 20th to the 21st century. It will include many countries, not just the Western ones, so if possible, recommendations would be great!
