![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What about nonbinary authors? Black queer authors? Disabled authors? Neurodivergent authors? Queer experiences, for example, don’t necessarily look the same for any two people-especially if one of them is white and another Black. But is it really? Because it’s easy to miss the intersection of identities-or miss certain identities entirely-if you accept that as enough. Beyond that, though, I think it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you’re doing enough, or reading widely enough, if you’re reading books that are non-white or non-straight or non-male. What it means is simple: evaluate the kinds of books you’re reading and make sure they aren’t all reflecting a white, western-AKA colonizer-point of view. The phrase “decolonize your bookshelf” has come into common reader vernacular in recent years. ![]()
