Kalima DeSuze, the owner of the Black feminist bookstore Cafe con Libros in Brooklyn, curates an eclectic list of Juneteenth-related reads including everything from political histories to cookbooks.
“It’s a book about love, activism, and empowerment, but it’s also about the ways in which Laetitia Ky uses hair as a place of political activism and pushback.

It adds a different layer and a texture to the way we understand these stories.”Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes from the Matriarch of Edisto Island“I really wanted to add a cookbook, because there is so much history and politics in Black food, and I feel like when we do these kinds of reading lists, we don’t always acknowledge that, even when it feels so important. If you look at the history of Southern Black cuisine, it is rooted in the history of slavery.
