Activists of YA discussion

here is a space where you can find reccomendations, or reccomend some books with BIPOC main character or author representation.

my favorite, is very popular, but its popular for a reason... and that is, The Hate U Give by angie thomas. the prequel, Concrete Rose is also amazing. you all should definitely check it out!!!!

haha thats so funny, i have one too! when i saw it at target, i just had to buy it :)

Three Dark Crowns is a great YA dark fantasy with adult vibes.

The Hate U Give is awesome. And so is Concrete Rose. I actually loved that Angie Thomas included a bisexual woman of color in Concrete Rose!

AHHH I just italicized the whole comment ...

Watch us Rise is also a great book. More of its focus is on feminism but one of the 2 authors is poc and one of the main characters is poc. I highly recommend it if you have not read it.

i’d definitely recommend

A Very Large Expanse of Sea
Slay
On the Come Up
Starfish
Punching the Air
Ziggy, Stardust and Me
Dear Martin
Let Me Hear a Rhyme
Don't Ask Me Where I'm From
The Black Kids
Love From A to Z
The Henna Wars

they’re not all centring around antiracism, per se, but i definitely think all of these books have super important commentary on racism, cultural appropriation, immigration, islamophobia, systematic racism, etc
