[close] A new book club for like minded people, we will read books about or featuring non-white lesbians/bisexuals from Britain. There doesn't seem to be many books of that description, there must be more but I've only found about 4 on this website ;( so, if you know of more please join and share. I might expand this book club to include books about black British gay/bi men too, if all goes smoothly. I've included bi because sexuality is/was fluid for many women in these books and in reality. Any colour or sexuality can join as long as you are supportive and have a genuine interest in reading such books.

[close] This group, dedicated to Portuguese-American and Portuguese-Canadian Literature, focuses on the increasingly present literary conversation between the Portuguese Diaspora, American, and Canadian culture at large. Except for a few regions of these two countries where their presence is remarkable, the Portuguese presence in the United States and Canada has slipped from the public consciousness, and the few representations of Portuguese-Americans and Portuguese-Canadians in popular culture have obscured their image. In this group, we discuss how Portuguese-American and Portuguese-Canadian fiction, poetry, memoir, oral history, theater and performance interrogate the stereotyped portrayals of Portuguese-Americans and Portuguese-Canadians and foster genuine historical inquiry and understanding. Here, we explore the potential of literature to enable the recovery of a forgotten, even repressed, historical past. Our aim is to foster a deeper and more complex appreciation for the importance of Portuguese-American and Portuguese-Canadian texts in the study of Portuguese culture, American culture, Canadian culture and the space of the Portuguese diaspora.
