The Africa Box
A curated box of three books, designed to help you read widely
The Africa Box! A collection of 3 books by BIPOC authors from African countries, chosen by us. One of the most exciting literary scenes, Africa is home to the best up and coming writers of this generation. Take a peek into what the continent has to offer with our Africa Box!
We’ve specially curated each box to include authors from three different backgrounds so that you would get a wide range of stories.
Our boxes are also curated with the intention of including one recent new release, one classic, and one essential/interesting read by an author we adore.
Please note books in the image are an example and not representative of what will be in your box. Each box is hand-picked upon ordering so no two boxes are the same.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
This is going to cost me a lot of money!
I've been into the shop in person and I've shopped online. I bought the Asia box online and loved it so much that I bought the Africa one straight after. They were great books and some that I would've chosen myself but am really enjoying. I'll be back for Latin America soon!

The Europe & West Asia Box
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
