It has been a little since I made a compilation of interesting Bipo lit and lit news. I share a list of books, documentaries and other projects that give a lot of Ryan Kugler’s record hit this week this week SinnersA Canadian poet-header, who won a large (monetary) award, Japanese American art during the World War II deprivation exhibition and others.
I am currently writing my own list of books to read if you like the current feeling that is SinnersAnd I came across this FAB resource from Trey Walk. When I write lists that are focused on a particular topic, I always try to check to make sure I do not repeat what others, hence mine, and mine, which has fallen into this list.
What I like about the Walk compilation is how different basic aspects of the film are divided and makes reading recommendations to better understand the historical meaning of every thing. Under Blues Music and Jook Joint, he recommends a photographic project; Under the “Delta of Mississippi”, cotton and race in the creation of America: human costs for economic power by Jean Dotel; Under “Black Religion – Hoodu and Christianity”, mules and men from Zora Niel Herson; and under “race, identity and history” how the Irish became white by Noel Ignatiev; Among other things.
For the full list, see his post.
The Canadian poet Canissia Lubin won this year’s Carol Shields Award for fiction – which awards women and non -beding writers in the US and Canada – as well as $ 150,000 who come with him (Wow).
Her profitable work was her edition of the 2024 debut fiction. Code Noir, a collection of short stories of 59 stories that look at topics such as Louis XIV’s black code – which establish the rules of slavery in France and its colonies.
The judges of the award said: “The stories invite you to immerse yourself in both the real and the speculative, the intimate and the encompassing moments of history. By crashing from the decree of the Napoleonic decree, Lubin resumes the legacy of slavery, colonialism and violence.”

Although this exhibition is not explicit about literature, it offers an idea of how Asian American artists were affected by the US government’s decision to close them during World War II.
The exhibit – “Photos of the affiliation: Mickey Hayakawa, Hisaco Hibby and Monne Okubo” – is on display at the American Smithsonian Art Museum in DC. In addition to the carved on the spot, to look at various aspects of the Japanese prison, the exhibition also seeks to give the three female artists their flowers for their great contribution to American art from the 20th century.
To learn more about the exhibit, visit the Smithsonian American Arts Museum.
