Good books should be accessible. As Caribbean readers we found out that trying to get the newest releases sometimes meant ordering them ourselves and having to deal with the beautiful, considerate, well mannered customs officers. We also got tired of developed country narratives dominating book conversations. Why should these narratives be the norm when authors of colour, and writers from the Global South have a rich and far reaching literary canon?
Decentred Lit is an effort to challenge that single narrative.
