A People’s History of the United States - Howard Zinn
•••
The most important perspective shift book you will ever read. Zinn tells the American story from the the point of view of America’s women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. This should be read in High School, but most seem to find it when they are in college. Youth of America! Read this asap!

Circe by Madeline Miller
•••
Madeline Miller has written several perspective shift books about minor characters from Greek Mythology. Here, Circe is transformed her from a minor figure into a rich and complex protagonist, who creates a full life as an exile on her island. This could also be a "heroine" novel, so categorize in your own mind as you wish!

James by Percival Everett
$28
•••
I didn't want this book to end, and I can't say that as often as I'd like. In James, Everett revisits the tale of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim...whose experiences as he quests for freedom reveal the profound depths of his character. James is a man of dignity, intelligence, wit, and resilience with the stereotypical portrayal from Huck Finn serving as camouflage against whites. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Literature.
