Website for Multi-cultural Books

Here is a link to a wonderful website with ideas about authors who fall under the category of postcolonial literature.  

Postcolonial and Multi-cultural Authors 

This should help give you many ideas for your choice book activities and projects.  Basically, you pick a country or region, choose an author, and then click on his or her works to see what books he or she has written.  I would then suggest that you look up on the boos on the Amazon or Barnes and Noble websites to read up on it to see if it might interest you to read it.  Have fun!!
