Finding books from various perspectives

[damned_colonial]

Anyone got tips for finding books from a range of perspectives? Many of the books we've been suggesting so far are by dead white guys (and dead white women). I'd be interested in any tips/ideas/thoughts people have on how to find books from other viewpoints.

rydra_wong suggested the following in comments elsewhere, for finding historical books by people of colour:

One could possibly also look for books on Amazon.com by searching for historical fiction and then narrowing down your selection.
