Last fall, I wrote a post entitled “We Need Diverse Nonfiction” to highlight the unfortunate lack of nonfiction, especially the four categories of nonfiction with an expository writing style (active, browseable, traditional, expository literature), by BIPOC. Since then, I’ve continued to keep track of BIPOC authors everyone should be aware of.
