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!

always was, always will be: 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? Aboriginal Peoples are the first and forever storytellers, so what better way to decolonise your bookshelf than to read Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices?

Aboriginal Australia Fiction
Fiction from our wonderful Aboriginal Australian Authors π€π‘β€οΈ
So much Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander work gets produced as non-fiction which isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you live in Australia, most local libraries have a copy of one or two of these books so get out there and read some First Nations stories
