'A vital and timely introduction to some of the best books I've
ever read. Perfectly curated and filled with brilliant literature'
Nikesh Shukla 'The ultimate introduction to post-colonial
literature for those who want to understand the classics and the
pioneers in this exciting area of books' Symeon Brown These are the
books you should read. This is the canon. Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre
Osborne and Kadija Sesay have curated a decolonized reading list
that celebrates the wide and diverse experiences of people from
around the world, of all backgrounds and all races. It disrupts the
all-too-often white-dominated 'required reading' collections that
have become the accepted norm and highlights powerful voices and
cultural perspectives that demand a place on our shelves. From
literary giants such as Toni Morrison and Chinua Achebe to less
well known (but equally vital) writers such as Caribbean novelist
Earl Lovelace or Indigenous Australian author Tony Birch, the
novels recommended here are in turn haunting and lyrical;
innovative and inspiring; edgy and poignant. The power of great
fiction is that readers have the opportunity to discover new worlds
and encounter other beliefs and opinions. This is the Canon offers
a rich and multifaceted perspective on our past, present and future
which deserves to be read by all bibliophiles - whether they are
book club members or solitary readers, self-educators or teachers.
