It is essential to critically assess the literature we consume and enjoy because of its ability to influence our beliefs and societal values.
A Xolo Book Review is not your typical book review. Using the guiding questions below, each Xolo Book Review analyzes a book through a decolonized lens. The books we review earn a 1-5 rating on the Xolo Scale, determining how well it represents and celebrates BIPOC experiences.
Our Guiding Questions:
-
To what extent are there BIPOC leading characters or perspectives?
-
How well does the author avoid writing BIPOC experiences through the white gaze?
-
To what extent does the author challenge white-centered beliefs?
-
How well does the book explore nuances between intersectional identities?
