Named after a collection of short stories, retelling the narrative, but told from the perspective of different background characters in Star Wars: A New Hope.

These are novels about that other perspective, and the novels that inspired them.

A list inspired by (and copied from) @cortneyhenningnovak, including (mainly) fiction reads from every country in alphabetical order! Any suggestions and add-ons welcome to expand the list🫶

11 countries including:

Afganistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria & Azerbaijan ❣️

Enjoy my newest lit series ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

books with themes around colonialism, coloniality and decolonialism, feel free to drop recommendations! this list is mainly focused on latin america, but there’s a few books from other places

Fiction books set in Algeria
