ABOUT

_{WHAT IS THIS?}We asked 31 Latinos to give book recommendations featuring Latino themes or Latino authors throughout Latino Heritage Month.

_{WHAT PROMPTED THIS?}There is a lack of representation of Latino culture within the U.S. educational system and literature.

_{WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE 31 DAYS?}At the end of the month, we will take those recommendations and buy books from a Latino bookstore and donate them to a local NYC high school.

POWERED BY

Have a recommendation of you own? Head to our Instagram and leave us a message.
