land down under: australian cli-fi
a selection of fiction titles from australian authors responding to the climate crisis, usually with a speculative bent. these works tend to spotlight the specificities of the australian landscape, often drawing from the ecological devastation we are already experiencing, and the continual impacts of colonisation on climate.
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!

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

"The most prestigious literary award in Australia" which has been going for 70 years, features some much beloved Aussie writers and is named for a prolific 20th century author. I've only included winners from 2007 onwards because the official website is terribly set up and I don't trust Wikipedia without another source but I'll update if I can happily confirm.
