October is Black History Month and a couple of years ago we developed a reading list in support of it. We've now updated the list, adding new titles, and these are available for staff and students in Northamptonshire Healthcare and Northampton General Hospital to borrow from the libraries.
.bmp "A selection of titles from our reading list")
The list covers race and racism, fiction from black authors, nonfiction titles from our leisure reading collection, as well as organisational and health care related books.
On the list you'll find titles like "The uncomfortable truth about racism", "Overcoming everyday racism" and David Olusoga's "Black and British: a forgotten history" as well as fiction from black authors like Marlon James and Akwaeke Emezi (writer of the excellent "Freshwater").
There are also biographies, like those of Walter Tull and Michelle Obama as well as classics like "The Colour Purple", "Beloved" and "If Beale Street Could Talk", books on cookery, and more clinically focused titles. We hope there is something for everyone on the list.
You can find the reading list on our catalogue here.
