This Is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books

This is the main list of 50 books from "This is the Canon: Decolonize Your Bookshelves in 50 Books" by Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay George, which aims to introduce a more diverse literature. Every entry also features a section of recommendations similar to that particular book, but I did not include them here.
Happy reading!
