A collection of books on minorities and discrimination and other things your white friends should educate themselves on.

Books to educate and inspire us in creating a better, more humane world today. Particular focus on US history/interests/etc.

read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.

note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
