I might write fantasy novels, but I read a lot of history books for my writing. Here are 46 books I found quite interesting as I learned more about different corners of Black history.
For someone who writes fantasy I do a lot of historical research to get the history parts right so I know what history I'm bending as I add in magic. Because history is interconnected, I have read quite a few history books to get the full picture of a particular slice of time. The following are just a few books that crossed my path over the years taking me into some interested rabbit holes. If you're looking to dive into Black history, here are few that make great starting points. I hope you are inspired to explore other books and references.
