Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!
The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.
Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!
I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!
Suggestions are always welcome!
always was, always will be: non fiction edition
The many and varied Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures from the lands, waters and skies known today as 'Australia' are, collectively, the oldest continuing culture in the world. Sick, huh? The knowledge and wisdom held and passed down by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is important, necessary and timeless. If you are looking to decolonise your thinking, what better way than learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices?

Indigenous Reads of 2025
A list of books I've read by Indigenous authors (ideally about Indigenous issues or characters) in 2025. Books about Indigenous people/topics written by non-Indigenous authors aren't included here, but anthologies/co-authored books with a mixture of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors are included. For this list, I'm only including authors Indigenous to the Americas, Oceania, and SΓ‘pmi, although Indigenous peoples obviously exist in other parts of the world.
First Nations "Australian" Authors
Books across all genres written by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors from so called "Australia".
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please be advised that this list contains the name and image of an Indigenous person who has died.
