Nonfiction about historical events, people, and places outside of North America & Europe (both contemporary and ancient history).

This list can include nonwestern perspectives within/analyzing western cultures or countries as well (as long as it’s in a historical context).

Note: check content warnings; books in this list may cover triggering subjects

Books specifically about the lives and deaths of members of the Black Panther Party, government led assassination plots, the processes the US created to take down the flourishing community created by the Black Panther Party, and the histories of the BPP through the words of multiple members.

Books that expose the history we were never taught. Getting to the root of racism, fascism, colonialism. Working towards a new world while unlearning this one.

This list is dedicated for all the book recommended and mentioned by Louisa Munch - critical theorist. I follow her Instagram account almost from the very first videos. Louisa inspired me to organise better my political reading and she always gives some nice recommendations to inform yourself about the political landscape of today. I just wanted to have all the books in one place, plus the ones which I found on my own reading journey.

Inspired by some comments I saw regarding classics being too straight white male oriented. There are lots of classics that aren't, but unfortunately don't always get as much recognition. Hoping this list might help those interested expand their range of classics. Non-exhaustive and taking suggestions!

A collection of acclaimed classic and contemporary Francophone literature. I chose to classify as Francophone rather than French in order to include authors who wrote in French but were/are not of French nationality, especially authors from colonised countries. Non-exhaustive as I'm not an expert I am keeping this list to one book per author but suggestions very welcome! :)
