So it seems like we might as well start a booklist thread here. You know, books by and about POC in sci fi and fantasy. And maybe some stuff about race and gender and representation, as well. I'll add this post to the memories so it can be an ongoing reference.
Off the top of my head:
The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad by Minister Faust
The Dark Matter anthologies by Sheree R Thomas
The Gilda Stories, Jewelle Gomez (did anyone else see Urban Bush Women's musical version of this?)
the works of
Nalo Hopkinson Lion's Blood, by Steven Barnes (and others)
