“Diversity in literature is, in part, about representation - who is telling the stories and who stories are told about.”
“The designation is useful and necessary and sometimes limiting but it is only limiting to people who think, for example, that African-American literature couldn't possibly be something they could be interested in or relate to. They have limited imaginations, which is sad.”
