    Looking for books dealing with colonisation, it can be historical fiction (think–the story thief but themes of injustice and colonists vs opressed. Something like Babel by KF. Kuang, also one of my favourites. Fantasy is fine as well but would prefer if it's intense and the themes are shown well!)

    1. Isabel Cañas and Silvia Moreno Garcia both write books often set in historic Mexico that usually deal with colonialism. Both of them will also often write about the historical context and sources used at the end of the book after the author’s note which I really appreciate. I would start with The Hacienda for Cañas and Mexican Gothic for Moreno-Garcia.
