Re-focus
A list of all the books recced after a request for sf/f, romance, or historical fiction written by People of Colour.
(Not all books fit the genres, but all are by POC.) I actually didn't set this up to be voted on, but so that it could be seen by everyone; voting wouldn't make sense in this context. Perhaps there's a better way to make this list? It's an ongoing task, a work in progress, as I comb through the comments to get all the recced books.

Hi, it's a preferred term by people of colour online. Probably offline, too. Sorry, I'm using shorthand from another context.
I was doing some librarian cleanup of records and it looks like The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill was removed from this list! I'm going to report that as a bug to the Goodreads staff, but I wanted to let you know so you could add the book back.... Sorry about that! I haven't seen that happen before.
Perhaps there's a better way to make this list?The only other way I can think of would be to create a group and then add all of these books to that group's bookshelves.
I'm so thrilled to see this! I've been trying to take notes as I go through lj threads, but there are just so many recommendations! (Note: oh horrors! too many great books to read!)
Just to let everyone here from the original discussion know that a group of volunteers is working to create the list in a more user-friendly format, inclusive of the original recommendation comments. I will link here when there is more info.Wealhtheow: I know!
