Overview
In this episode of Bookaholic, Host Deirdre Pippins reveals her 2021 reading list! This year, she has chosen to continue with the theme of authors of the African Diaspora. Deirdre encourages listeners of all walks of life, regardless of race and cultural background, to take a stab at some of these novels. As we aspire to become a more inclusive and equitable society, it is crucial to read books about one another as a first point of understanding.
From legends like Toni Morrison and James Baldwin to unsung legends like Wallace Thurman and Ann Petry to emerging legends like Yaa Gyasi and Sadeqa Johnson, Deirdre’s 2021 reading list presents a comprehensive deep dive into the Black experience in America and beyond. Although these books all share a common theme, each one is a masterpiece in its own right.

Quotes
• “My books are going to address history, fantasy, facts, colorism, racism, sociology. There’s also some anthology books on this list as well. This book challenge will allow you to look at an overview of life experienced by people of color on many levels.” (3:06-3:25)
• “Some of the stuff may be hard for people to hear, but, you know, we have to face these things head on and stop sweeping these horrible realities under the rug….We cannot just let them go anymore. We just have to address them. Whether we’ll all end up agreeing is one thing, but people have to know what you’re thinking and how you feel. That’s very important.” (23:05-23:47)
