Any Known Blood Competition

I would highly recommend "The Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler. Butler was a prescient and gifted writer who died far too young. Her novel is a compelling vision of a dystopian future tempered by the possibility of redemption.

I would recommend the book 'The Hate u Give' by Angie Thomas. It gave me a new perspective on the experiences of minorities through exploring the themes of systemic racism, police brutality and the power of activism.

Reni Eddo-Lodge's "Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race" is a very in-depth, informative, and thought-provoking book that discusses much about the history of racism under an intersectional feminist lens. I would definitely recommend everyone read this book at least once!

"African Americans, as well as other people of color and low-income people, have benefitted greatly from cooperative ownership and democratic economic participation throughout (America's) history." Capitalism continues its death spiral stumbling from crisis to crisis: global pollution, climate sabotage, genocide, homelessness and starvation, what to do? We desperately need knowledge and practice of a new economics, a well-being economics. I am recommending to myself and others the book: Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice by Jessica Gordon Nembhard.

Island on Fire The Revolt That Ended Slavery in the British Empire by Zoellner, Tom WOW ! This book taught me everything that i was'nt taught in high school !!!!! It was really informative and well written and the Ottawa public library had us join a group of fervent readers to together read the book and discuss it . We even had the author Zoom in on our book club to be interviewed by us and it was loads of fun . Thank you OPL

At the risk of seeming like a suck up, I really really liked the Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. Another great read is Half of a Yellow Sun, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Very powerful.

I would highly recommend "The Son of the House" by Cheluchi Onyemelukwe (a Nigerian-Canadian author). Set in Nigeria, this book chronicles a riveting and compelling story of tradition, class, gender, and motherhood. It is left a profound impact on me, and so I hope you pick it up and enjoy it as much as I did!

I would recommend "Caste - The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson. A great nonfiction book, mainly based in the United States, but much relating back to Canada, about how systemic racism has shaped and affected every aspect of everyday life.

Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé is an excellent choice for readers who like suspense and thriller. It's as if the movie Get Out had a baby with How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao.

Nnedi Okorafor's "Who Fears Death" - this one blew me away with how it explored cultural practices and change through a non-aggressive, non-polar manner. It's been years since I read it but I still think on that story and am grateful for how it affected my perspectives and perceptions of different realities. Stellar writing, phenomenal story telling, and compelling strong characters. Read it! You won't be sorry ;D

For non-fiction, How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, especially the audiobook read by the author. For fiction that really helps us see through other people's eyes, anything by Toni Morrison.

I recommend Chester Himes, particularly his Harlem Detective series, in which two Black detectives solve crimes in Harlem, not incidentally demonstrating along the way a Black view of racism in the 1950s - '60swhich is pretty harsh. He won France's Grand Prix de Littérature Policière, but never got enough recognition in the US.
