48 Books by Women and Nonbinary Authors of Color to Read in 2019

'I started compiling this list of anticipated books a couple of years ago, when I was having trouble finding forthcoming books by women of color that I could read and review. It occurred to me that if I was having trouble, others almost certainly were, too.
Here, again, are 2019 books by women of color, as well as by nonbinary people of color: novels, collections, memoirs, and anthologies. This is the third year I've assembled such a list for Electric Literature. I'm delighted to learn that the previous two years' lists have been among the publication's most shared pieces of 2018 and 2017; I'm dismayed by how necessary the list still seems to be. May this list become less useful, and may we all read more broadly.
Someday we'll have a 46th president, but until then, here are 46 other things to look forward to.'
