Vital Discussions: On Demand – Decolonise Your Bookshelf

Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay have curated a decolonised reading list of 50 books that celebrate the wide and diverse experiences of people from around the world.

From literary giants like Toni Morrison and Chinua Achebe to less well-known but equally vital writers such as Trinidadian novelist Earl Lovelace or Indigenous Australian author Tony Birch, the novels recommended here are in turn haunting and lyrical, innovative and inspiring.

Join our speakers for a discussion of these books and their own ‘desert island’ books, as they explore how important it is to decolonise your bookshelves.

This event is presented in partnership with Quercus Books.
