October is Black History Month in the UK. We’ve put together a selection of texts focusing on the history of Black writers, from different time periods and across the globe.

Black History Month Book Display

The University is hosting various talks and lectures, for Black History Month. See here for more details.

The ebooks below are available to Oxford University members to read remotely- click on the book cover to access the SOLO record. You’ll need to sign into SOLO with your ‘Single Sign On’ to read the books.

You may also be interested in our collection of anti-racist resources. The collection was a collaborative effort, put together by staff from the Bodleian Libraries, College Libraries and JCR Welfare reps.

Titles are added regularly to this growing collection, so it’s worth checking back periodically. We’d welcome feedback and suggestions of titles to include in the collection. Please contact Helen.Worrell@Bodleian.ox.ac.uk to do so. For more information on inclusive collection development please see the Changing the Narrative libguide.
