Submit to Readers of Color
long story short, i got tired of reading, intelligence, and geekdom being thought of as only being a "white thing." here you will mostly find book recommendations of authors of color and pictures of pretty people reading. after you're done browsing, do me a favor and submit something!
Whenever someone asks me for recommendations on books to read about feminism that is not RIOT GRRRL IS EVERYTHING 5EVER I recommend this book first. I wish tumblr search was easier to do, because when I first read through it I talked about each chapter in depth on tumblr and it’s totally lost in the abyss. It’s a great primer to movements NOT focused on riot grrrl culture and a very easy and interesting read, which isn’t easy considering sometimes Gender Studies books can be dry as fuck.
