African

[close] Discussion of strategically selected books by Greater Diversity News that address issues and provide solutions to underserved communities in the United States. Selected books are selected in part for clarity of issues produced by racism in their historical context. Parents, guardians and their youth are encouraged to participate together and discuss afterward in their homes.

[close] We explore the unpopular African literature covering history , culture and African society

[close] The aim of this group is to broaden the horizons of avid readers past the much publicised Western authors (not that these aren't great, but a) representation matters, and b) the time has come to use literature as it was intended, to experience other worlds) by recommending books written by African authors. A lot of the canon in this regard tends to be literary fiction or poetry, and while these recommendations will also be welcomed, it would be appreciated if this group could also highlight contemporary lit, fantasy, horror, etc.

[close] Welcome! We are a book club dedicated to traveling the world one book at the time (and encourage reading books by non-English speaking authors). We also hold yearly reading challenges and frequent read-a-longs.
