I wanna start an essay for one of my classes about the sexualization/fetishization of women of colour, but I need help finding books that cover that topic, preferably about all WOC and not specifically one race.
Some ideas I have for the essay include analyzing how some races of women are stereotyped as wild and some as subservient, both very opposite behaviours that are fetishized and cause real harms to women. It’ll be a very long essay so I’d also like to fit in some points on sexualized cultures/traditions, orientalism, and sex tourism caused by these fetishes.
If anyone knows any books that cover any of these topics, please do reply.

Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall touches on it in several chapters, primarily from the perspective of a Black woman but she also discusses the fetishization of and sexualization of other WOC
