And the truth is savage and dangerous.” This line from the novel Woman at Point Zero, by Egyptian doctor, feminist and writer, Nawal El Saadawi, who recently passed away at 89, probably speaks best about the author’s pioneering life. Born in a village outside Cairo in 1931, El Sadaawi was forced to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) at the age of six and was almost married at 10.

11 Otherworldly Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books Written By Black Authors Photo: Amazon As a Black woman and nerd-content enthusiast, I sometimes struggle to find representation of blackness in mainstream fantasy and sci-fi. While I enjoy stories like His Dark Materials, Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter, and they do include characters of color, the stories are largely told from white protagonists’ perspectives. So I often seek to add other narratives that allow Black and brown readers to more easily put themselves in the protagonist’s shoes, and fortunately, more of these stories are coming to the forefront. Here are 11 books by Black authors whose characters embrace magic and the supernatural.
