100 Books on Racism in the United States - Page 2

This is a compilation from lists of recommended reading regarding race, white supremacy and anti-racism in the United States and includes fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The focus is on African Americans but I have included several books about Native American and Asian American experiences as well. All books included on the list are by authors of color. (While there are also excellent books on anti-racism by European Americans, I feel it especially important first to listen.)
