A complete list of Science Fiction and Fantasy by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) would be very long indeed, so I am going to highlight a few of my favourites and add links to more lists.

Ta-Nehisi Coates

Better known as the author of several non-fiction books, Coates breaks into fiction with The Water Dancer. It could be classed as history, magical realism, or fantasy, but either way it sounds amazing.

Samuel Delany

A novelist and critic who taught literature and creative writing at the University of Massachusetts and Temple University, Samuel R. Delany had won four Nebula Awards and a Hugo Award by the time he was 27. He was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2002, by which time he’d also been chosen by the Lambda Literary Report as one of the 50 people who had done the most to change our view of gayness in the last half-century. He has written 24 novels, numerous short stories, 4 anthologies, and 11 critical non-fiction works.
