All the more reason to provide these kinds of books to people - especially young people - to educate them in many ways that the school curriculum fails to.

Many thanks for all the recommendations! Added all of them to the reading list. We are also interested in fiction recommendations, too

Unthinking Eurocentrism by Ella Shohat and Robert Stam

I’m especially interested in this book as the history of the world in a postcolonial view. How suitable could this book be for younger readers (11 to 14) in your opinion?

Thanks! Added to the reading list.

I read “The Colour Purple” at around 14 and it had a big impact on me. Lots of opportunities to discuss race, slavery, inequality in general.

It’s very welcoming to see LGBTQ+ characters, especially with the similarities of their liberation with non-white people.

I also read Uncle Toms Cabin around the same age which I found much harder to connect with but others in my class found that very impactful.

Good choice; this book seems to have had had a very positive impact on slavery and the dehumanisation of black people.

Despite being the root cause of a few stereotypes of black people, it is notable that the black people in the novel actually have character development throughout that breaks at least some of those stereotypes.
