Our take on The New Black Canon: 100 Books to Read Before You Die podcast

The New Black Canon: 100 Books To Read Before You Die is a brand-new podcast from Afrori Books about the books that shape us. This isn't your average book club chat: it’s a bold reimagining of the literary canon. Hosted by Carolynn Bain, founder of Afrori Books (Britain’s award-winning bookseller specialising exclusively in Black authors) – one book at a time, we’re building The New Black Canon.
