In this episode of the Go Smudge Yourself Podcast, Jen Green discusses 6 fiction books to add to your decolonial bookshelf. She discusses 2SLGBTQQIA+ and BIPOC representation in literature, goes over some of her favourite quotes, and explains the importance of not pigeonholing Indigenous Literature and Indigenous authors. She also challenges listeners to spend a month only reading and buying books from BIPOC authors (a year if you’re feeling extra spicy). What BIPOC and 2SLGBTQQIA+ books are you adding to your bookshelf?
Mahsi, Meduh, Thank You
