Shopkeepers from across Canada talk about their top anti-racist literature picks. BlackHistoryMonth
I’ve been working in the book industry for 10 years and I’ve never seen this type of impact, in particular from a political movement, before. This feels to me like maybe a once- or twice-in-a-career moment, where an entire population is shifting toward reading one thing. We’re here to connect the right human to the right book at the right time. Fundamentally, we’re mini therapists, but we’re also problem solvers. People come in with a problem, and we find the book that helps them solve it.
As a reading public, we need to recognize that engaging in anti-racism is not just about reading the book. It is about recognizing the full spectrum of art that’s produced by humanity. This is a real problem in publishing, where the case becomes made that you should read something because it’s by an Indigenous author and not because it’s great art.
We were quite busy with COVID, because when everything shut down, we announced we were doing free delivery. But after George Floyd was murdered, within days we started seeing a massive influx of orders and requests for books on anti-racism and books by Black authors – not just non-fiction, but everything from poetry to history to literature. Just in the month of June, we processed more online orders than we did in all of 2019.
