Required reading on race, according to black-owned indie booksellers.
Required Reading on Race, According to Black-Owned Indie BooksellersLast week, there were zero out of 10 books on Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's best-selling lists whose subject matter concerned race. Now, there are seven out of 10 and nine out of 10, respectively, on each. The desire for anti-racism reading has skyrocketed in the wake of the latest surge in the
movement, as people's notions of white fragility and what it means to be an ally to black people is pushed beyond the limits of what was once accepted., by Ibram X. Kendi,by Robin DiAngelo have become woven into the fabric of everyday discourse.
We asked staffers at five black-owned bookshops across the country to weigh in on what they consider to be required reading right now. This isn't a guide on how to be anti-racist—although most of these stories do bear that element, creating conversations and critical thought around race. Instead, we hope to shine a light on these black-owned, independent bookshops, what they love reading, and why they say these particular books are important for this particular moment.
