Welcome to Afrori books. We live in a diverse country surrounded by amazing creative talent. But not every one gets the same exposure for their talent. Black authors struggle to get a place on the bookshelf of major bookstores. Libraries tuck books by black authors away in a small BAME section and the selection is sparse (if it takes up more than one shelf you’d be impressed). Started amidst the protests of 2020, Afrori books has grown to have the biggest selection of books by black authors in the United Kingdom. Covering every genre that you are looking for and so many more, there are thousands of books in store. Their online presence is formidable and their mission is simple: • Support black authors. • Create diverse bookshelves. • Be a voice for justice. We want to give black authors more than a hidden away shelf; we want to give them a whole store. For those who want to create diverse bookshelves in their home, workplace or educational setting, it is a mountainous task trying to find books that contain black characters or try finding books from genres outside of social justice like romance, fantasy, murder mystery, thriller, and teen books. We have done the searching for you. Our wholesaler is the largest book wholesaler in the country, giving us access to millions of books. We are constantly adding new books to our range. We do not see a diverse selection of books in bookshops, schools, universities and homes in the UK. Finding books that contain black characters is increasingly difficult. Afrori want to make that easier. We have done the searching so you don't have to. We sell quality books by black authors, at a price that means nobody is undercut.
