    I am doing a research project that will require me to read feminist literature from around the world. There is a plethora of feminist writing from women and queer people in northern hemisphere, but I am really trying to build out my sources for feminist texts from other parts of the world. Fiction is VERY welcome, preferably fiction with some darker themes – think Beloved. Nonfiction and critical theory is more than welcome too – it could be a book about the differences between white feminism and intersectional feminism that includes an anticolonialist perspective, for example.

    Thanks so much everyone!

      Little Rot by Akeaeke Emezi.

      It’s about power, sex, religion and hypocrisy. It’s very dark, and very very good. The author has a few other books, and they’re all good, but this one is their best.
