Thank you for this -- one of my New Year's Resolutions was to read more about race, and I was having trouble finding recommendations.
Elizabeth-- for African American books, this list is excellent: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/19...
Ooof. The Help. The Black experience written by a white woman. When will we learn to stop reading these works? I'd take that out and put some Toni Morrison in. I love all the Deloria!
If you're interested in finding more recommendations or discussion of radical political books, you can check out & participate in the Anarchist & Radical Book Club. We try to curate our "bookshelf" so you can find books by subject.
Is there no way to remove or challenge a book on this (or any list?) Book number 224 is Stephen King's It.

Well, at least it's not as bad as Save the Pearls.
