Recs if you like Behind You Is the Sea...

Books by Palestinian authors or that highlight Gaza.

Fiction books by Arab authors and/or books starring Arab characters (and as always, Free Palestine)

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

SWANA authors are authors from South West Asia and North Africa. They currently make up <1% of the trad publishing industry. This list is here to introduce you to their stories.

NOTE: if you find an author who doesn’t belong on this list, please comment & I will remove the book(s) ASAP.

As always, lists are forever evolving🥰

Reading is resistance. Palestine WILL be free!
