Read Black Stories

These books are all antiracist because they traffic in the stories of Black people, though many were not written to be taken as antiracist texts. These books run the gamut from slave narratives to modern fantasy, from literary fiction to books for young people and more. This list is not exhaustive, but a good place to start. Many of these authors have multiple books, so please go find them and read those ones too.
