Diversity Is Not Enough: Race, Power, Publishing:

romancecanon:

“The publishing industry looks a lot like these best-selling teenage dystopias: white and full of people destroying each other to survive.”

“We can love a thing and still critique it. In fact, that’s the only way to really love a thing. Let’s be critical lovers and loving critics and open ourselves to the truth about where we are and where we’ve been. Instead of holding tight to the same old, failed patriarchies, let’s walk a new road, speak new languages. Today, let’s imagine a literature, a literary world, that carries this struggle for equity in its very essence, so that tomorrow it can cease to be necessary, and disappear.”

Such a great read.

Really good read.
