Recs if you like Dogside Story...
The PI in AAPI!
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!
The Booker Prize Longlist & Winners 2001+
For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books! Before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. After I finish adding in all of the books, I'll pin a comment with the winners by year in case you are only interested in those! (Work in Progress - I'm adding too many books to the database at once haha)
Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books
This list is based on the book by Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne, and Kadija Sesay (This is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books)
As the title suggests, the book aims to broaden readers’ horizons. The list contains works by non-white, mostly female authors.
