The Magazine of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Field
The US Naval Academy’s library has removed 381 books from its collection after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office ordered the school to remove works promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The list largely consists of books that discuss race and gender. It includes several genre titles and authors, including A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers (Tordotcom), Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon (MCD), The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race by Jesmyn Ward (Scribner), and The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang (Tor).
For the full list, see the U.S. Navy official press release.
