Black Literature

[close] This is a place for INDIE ONLY Black book recs and book chats for and with Black people. If you do not want to be a part of these discussions, please do not join. We have good vibes over here. Also, there is a difference between bashing a book/author and critiquing a book/author. Please know the difference. Your faves may not be someone else's faves.

[close] This club is an extension of a blog site (https://virtualafrowoman.com/home/) that was created as a way to connect through books by authors of the African diaspora. We have so many different cultures that have branched from this continent due to the unfortunate times of the slave trade, so there are many different works that reflect on these experiences and the connection we all still have to MOTHER AFRICA. So as we read books by Afro Black/Brown authors, we will explore different genres of literature that can teach us and allow us to reflect on this thing called Black Life.

[close] 🌿 Roots and Reads Book Club 🌍 “Deeply rooted in culture, community, and conversation - wherever you are in the world.” Welcome to Roots and Reads, a book club for Black women living in Costa Rica and across the diaspora. We gather around powerful stories written by Black authors, from fiction to memoir, poetry to politics, that reflect our histories, celebrate our identities, and inspire our futures. Here, we read not just for knowledge, but for connection, to ourselves, each other, and the roots that ground us. Whether you’re curled up by the Caribbean or sipping coffee in the Central Valley, you’ll find a vibrant sisterhood of readers ready to dive deep, discuss freely, and grow together. 📚 Bi-Monthly reads 🗓️ Virtual and in-person discussions 🖤 Centering Black voices and lived experiences Join us as we root ourselves in literature and lift each other through the power of words.
