The University of Kent, Information Services and Kent Union are working together to celebrate 2023’s Black History Month.
Check out our resources list, featuring 120 books, films, websites, and classic and modern fiction and non-fiction, from all over the world which explore what it means to be Black both historically and in the world today.
The theme this year is ‘Saluting Our Sisters’ and we have added a whole new exciting section called ‘Sisterhood’ for you to check out.
Some of these books are available to borrow from the Templeman or the Drill Hall Libraries and will be on display throughout October, whilst others you will need to source yourself.
Read more about Kent Union’s activities during Black History Month.

Is a book missing? Students and staff members have the option to submit a reading suggestion via the ‘Recommend a Book’ form.

We believe that black history past and present should be represented in our collections all year round so if you have other resources you would like to share please feel free to post in the comments below, so that we can look to enrich and broaden collections and resources.
