BIPOC Fiction
By Boneshaker Books


If Beale Street Could Talk
James Baldwin
$16.00 $14.88Baldwin's characters come alive with each page of this book. This is a deep and harrowing look into the racist systems of our society told through the stories of young black stories and family ties. Read the original that led to an Academy Award-winning Jenkins film. --Rebecca

The Fifth Season
N K Jemisin
$18.99 $17.66Set in a world where geological catastrophes are the norm, adds a class of people who can telekinetically control earth ("orogenes"), and asks what kind of society would form. The book follows Essun, a hidden orogene, as she looks for her missing children in the wake of a continental split. Although the setting is fantastic, the questions that the book asks about oppression and survival are very real. --Moli

The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories
Ken Liu
$18.99 $17.66This is maybe the book that I have cried the most while reading. In Liu's namesake short story within the collection, he brings to life the tensions of a young mixed race child pushing away his culture and Chinese mother. Sprinked with magic realism and twinges of science fiction, this will tug at your heartstrings. P.S. All my friends who I've recommended it to have also cried to this. --Rebecca
