Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Incredibly painful and important book to read, I found it very hard to put down. Along with Edward Baptist's "The Half Has Never Been Told," this may be one of the most important books of the 21st C. America so far for white people to read. If an outspoken and proudly racist president surprises you, read "Slavery by Another Name" and learn a huge hidden (in plain sight, never actually hidden, really, just never acknowledged) chapter in American history. Reading this over Martin Luther King's birthday weekend in 2018, just after the Toddler President made profanely clear his preference for blonde and blue eyed Norwegians over people with more melanin, I think I am just starting to see how much courage it took for people of color to fight back in the Civil Rights Movement, and how much it still takes today to insist that Black Lives Matter in a society that became a world power and the world's largest economy precisely by savagely and systematically stealing the lives and bodies and children of African-Americans and converting their suffering into wealth for whites.
