Black History Month 2024<\/h1>\n

We are celebrating Black History Month. And we don’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate. Black History Month has been celebrated in the UK since 1987, marking the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the Caribbean. Since 1987, the celebration has gotten bigger. Black History Month UK focuses on a key theme each year. This year is ‘Reclaiming Narratives<\/strong>‘.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

To reflect and honour the stories and voices throughout time:<\/p>\n

\u2018In today\u2019s world, stories are powerful tools that shape how we understand our past, present, and future. For too long, the history of Black communities has been told through lenses that often misrepresent, oversimplify, or entirely overlook the rich and diverse experiences of those who lived it. But 2024 is set to be a transformative year. Black History Month UK has unveiled its compelling theme; Reclaiming Narratives\u2019.<\/em> (Black History Month.Org UK)<\/p>\n

The Library and Black History Month<\/h2>\n

The library is committed throughout the year. We want to ensure Black history is represented and celebrated all year round. We are working hard to grow our collections so they become more inclusive and diverse.<\/span>\u00a0 Over on our libguides, you will find our Building Inclusive Reading Lists.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the libguide ‘is to provide practical support to academic staff and students who wish to build inclusive module or personal reading lists by adding a diversity of sources in terms of authorship, origin, accessibility, and theme’.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here, you can find Decolonising the Curriculum and Anti-Racism as well as Minorities and Indigenous Peoples Inclusions. Resources include books, ebooks, journals and much more.\u00a0 On the blog, we have our virtual bookshelves.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Suggesting and Recommending<\/h3>\n

At the library, we are ‘committed to developing collections that represent as far as possible the diversity of backgrounds, identities, and interests of the University’s students and staff. We urge you to help us to diversify and build inclusion into our collections by recommending.’<\/p>\n

On the reading list homepage, you can find a recommend-a-book<\/strong> button. Or you can email us at library@napier.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
