For many, fall symbolizes a time of transition, and one of the best ways to prepare for change is to immerse yourself in some entertaining and thought-provoking books.

There are plenty of biographies, essays, and novels to look forward to these next few months. From Chuck D’s perspective on gun violence and its intersection with hip-hop culture, to Malaika Jabali’s It’s Not You, It’s Capitalism: Why It’s Time to Break Up and How to Move On, fall will surely be a high point for avid readers worldwide.

Books such as Bayard Rustin: A Legacy of Protest and PoliticsSing a Black Girl’s Song: The Unpublished Work of Ntozake Shange, and Sly Stone’s memoir gives audiences a deeper look into the lives of some of the most important figures in Black culture, while The Unsettled and Let Us Descend are fictional stories, but due to their powerful plots, feel all too real.
