Los libros de Read Woke™ fueron creados en colaboración con Cicely Lewis, bibliotecaria de Read Woke. Inspirados en la creencia de que el conocimiento es poder, los libros de Read Woke buscan amplificar las voces de las personas de la mayoría global (personas con ascendencia africana, árabe, asiática y latinoamericana y que se identifican como no blancas), brindar información sobre los grupos que fueron despojados de sus derechos, difundir las perspectivas de las personas que han sido poco representadas u oprimidas, cuestionar las normas sociales, alterar el estado de las cosas y fomentar que los lectores actúen en sus comunidades.

Read Woke™ Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
