Watch Free Documentaries Online | Documentary Heaven Documentary heaven; thousands of free documentaries If you're looking for a documentary, then Documentary Heaven would be a good place to start. I've said that it has thousands of free documentaries, but in truth I don't have a specific number since they don't tell us. However, there are an awful lot of them! There are about 50 different categories, from Activist to War, with plenty of different subjects in between. The search engine is ok, but it's not brilliant, and I found it was best to simply browse through a category. Content comes from a variety of places - Documentary Heaven doesn't host the content itself, that comes from Google Videos, YouTube, Vimeo and so on. However, those niggles apart, it gives you access to a lot of documentaries completely free of charge, so it's worth keeping this one in your locker in case you ever need one!
Writers of Color • About 100 Best Books of the Decade So Far When we started putting together this list, I think all the Oyster editors expected it to be easier. A hundred books might sound like a lot, but in truth, it was difficult not make this a list of a thousand. The past six years have seen an abundance of brilliant fiction and nonfiction. But through lots of reading and re-reading, discussion and sometimes arguing, we've come up with a list of what believe are the very best books published since 2010. If there was something that was strangely easy to decide on, it was our number one pick: Teju Cole's Open City, a novel that explores one's sense of place with wit and imagination unlike anything to come before it. People read for a lot of reasons—some to be enlightened, others entertained.

I read only non-white authors for 12 months. What I learned surprised me | Sunili Govinnage In 2014, I managed to read 25 novels. All of them were written by people of colour. That was the result of a small challenge I set myself: not to read books by white authors for a year. The things I learned in my year of selective reading made me pretty glad to have persevered. Rather than restricting myself, my decision to be conscious about what I read introduced me to books I ordinarily would not have bothered with. Instead of my usual crime/procedural/legal thrillers, I actually read some science fiction. I was also lucky enough to get to read chick-lit and young adult novels with non-white central characters: Ambelin Kwaymullina’s post-apocalyptic series The Tribe, Antia Heiss’s Manhattan Dreaming and Rebecca Lim’s The Astrologer’s Daughter were particular highlights. Part of the lesson for me there was that “ethnic” writers don’t just write “ethnic” books about “ethnic” things. In addition to the philosophical questions, I had some technical issues with this whole endeavour.
