A Summer Reading List That Won’t Make Your Teeth Hurt

Summer is here! I know this because the all-white summer reading lists have begun making their rounds. There was an amusing post by Jason Parham at Gawker with the best title: NYT Summer Reading List Finally Achieves 100 percent Whiteness. The sad thing is the New York Times is not alone in their 100% White list. And in the coming weeks and months there will be plenty of thoroughly white reading lists, or ones with the same one or two People of Colour.
