To understand the racial hierarchy in the United States, you have to understand the language Black and mixed race people have been using to describe it since the end of the American Civil War.

Reconstruction gave birth to "the Color Line" phrase. It describes the legal and social boundaries between Black and White and the entire racial hierarchy that exists between them in the United States.

An essential resource for the American mixed and multiracial experience.

To broke to afford

Originating in the late 1800s and continuing until the end of World War II, works of the modernism movement feature new and innovative styles, a break from traditional writing, and attempts to recontextualize literature in response to both the devastation of the series of global conflicts between 1900-1950 and the emergence of new technology, ideas, and world order. Subgenres of modernism include absurdism, surrealism, dadaism, and stream of consciousness.

My favorite books

This collection is THE reason I haven’t cancelled BOTM; these books are criminally underrated & deserve more attention! Litfic lovers, these are for you.

The Offset is a collection from Book of the Month (BOTM) featuring “a series of books from indie and international voices for those who seek artistic expression over commercial appeal, elevated prose over action-packed plots, or the unconventional over the mainstream.”

Will be updated routinely.

Books to read on your sunny balcony in the shadows while wearing sunglasses because it's still too bright. There's a drink to your right, the condensation forming a little ring on your little balcony table. Maybe it's wine, maybe it's water, maybe only slow melting ice cubes. You don't know what time it is and everything smells like sunscreen.

House hauntings

weird phrasing but whatever. hehe. also things here might be interdisciplinary or not necessarily purely for an academic audience. so. do with that what you will. it’s more lit crit & theory mixed together.

May 16th is National Biographer's Day, commemorating the work of people who write about... people! We've picked out a whole pile of our favorite biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs by and about queer folks to celebrate the occasion. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

If it has <35 ratings on Pagebound but you've read and are rabid about it, drop that shit in the comments!!!!

for the reader who's tired of shadow daddies and toxic men

Published from 1990 to our days.

All the books I read from American literature, or the ones that are in my TBR and I'm going to read soon.

Spooky, eerie, often gory, & with healthy dose of mystery; stories that spoke to both the horror & fantasy lovers in me & had enough heart break to revive the emo teen I used to be 🥲 •——•—•——•—•——•—•——•
