an effort to learn about the world
learning is endless, and far too many people are being oppressed and subjected to violence in this world. just a list of books that shed more light on various marginalized folk from all over the world :) any recs are welcome!

'thank you for calling the lesbian line' might be a good add!

nezuuOP
thanks for the suggestion! def gonna add that in :)
Amazing!
is there a reason as to why there aren’t any books about judaism and anti-semitism on this list?

hi! this isn’t an all encompassing list by any means, and i definitely recognize that there are many groups of people who aren’t represented within this list :) i created this list when i first joined pb (and had the wrong idea of what a list is meant to be), as a list of books that i personally wanted to read because of my personal lack of knowledge about certain groups of people. i have not been updating or adding to this list much unless something was recommended to me, and you are absolutely free to recommend books regarding judaism and anti-semitism if you have any great resources!
here are some recs!
on the arab jew, palestine, and other displacements by ella shohat (it challenges the binary view of the israel/palestine conflict)
journey from the land of no by raya halakin (focuses on islamic fundamentalism and how it affect middle eastern jews)
jews don’t count by david baddiel (talks about how activists tend to leave out antisemitism in their activism)

thanks! i will look into them and add them when i get the chance :)
