Overview
The Challenge:
With how much people from Mexico and Central American countries have been villainized and dehumanized in the American media landscape, I want to make a point of understanding both the people and the countries they came from in 2025.
So please join me in a year-long reading challenge to diversify our reading - fiction, nonfiction, or a mix of the two! I want to make sure that this challenge is flexible and manageable so as many people join as possible, so I have decided to make the nonfiction prompt under each country as optional.
The Rules:
Only one. Please try to focus on Own Voices authors as much as possible. The term Own Voices means that the author is part of the marginalized group they are writing about. (e.g. a Mexican author writing about Mexico, a Nicaraguan author writing about Nicaragua, etc.).
If you are unable to find an Own Voices book that fits the prompt, then a book of interviews, an ethnography, etc. written by a non-Own Voices authors may be substituted, but it must feature extensive commentary coming directly from the marginalized group if at all possible.
