Question

How does the issue "Black Lives Matter "relate to world literature

Answer 1

How is the "Black Lives Matter" movement reflected in literature?

Julia Lajta-Novak: At the moment, there are BLM reading lists in many newspapers, from the "New York Times" to the "Guardian" to "Vogue", that show what great literature is out there; literature that until now has received far too little attention. For the first time, Black authors have topped the paperback charts in the UK. So, BLM is actually reflected in sales figures. Books such as Reni Eddo-Lodges' "Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race" or Bernardine Evaristo's "Girl, Woman, Other" are being widely discussed.
