TIE Preview of Upcoming Reads on Race and Ethnicity, 2026
Posted on March 31, 2026 in Upcoming Reads
Race and ethnicity are expansive topics, and the scope of the titles below only reaffirms this, underscoring both the remarkable breadth of current scholarship on related subjects and their urgency. Spanning every continent, the books included engage topics such as migration and diasporas, colonialism and decolonization, racial capitalism, Indigenous sovereignty, caste and colorism, religion and racialization, gender and sexuality, cultural production, education, health, environmental justice, and resistance movements across time and place. To facilitate collection development and ease of discovery, the list has been organized by geographic area, allowing librarians to peruse regionally focused scholarship while also identifying opportunities to strengthen comparative and global perspectives. As race and ethnicity remain central to research, teaching, and institutional priorities in higher education, curated attention to this body of scholarship is essential. TIE‘s latest “Preview of Upcoming Reads” feature aims to foster thoughtful, inclusive collection development that supports multidisciplinary inquiry, amplifies historically marginalized voices, and reflects academic libraries’ ongoing commitment to equity, representation, and the evolving needs of their scholarly communities.
