Maybe it’s about important history for your culture, or how being a part of your culture makes you feel. Maybe it gives context that you think most lack or would be eye-opening. Or it reminds you of your grandma. Wondering if there will mostly be nonfiction that includes important facts or more fiction painting the feeling. Do you think it’s the book that most people associate with your culture?
An example of one that made me feel like I learned a lot was Island of Sea Women by Lisa See. I had never heard of the women divers of Korea. They were central to their community on Jeju Island.
