New York Times; What Should First Year College Students Read? :

"Many colleges and universities require first year students to take a “great books” course that introduces them to the classic works. But critics say the reading lists for these classes don’t reflect historical or literary diversity — often, almost all of the authors are white and male. At Columbia University, students lobbied for a more inclusive selection of texts on their mandatory Literature Humanities course, which resulted in the addition of Toni Morrison’s “Song of Solomon” to their curriculum.

Which authors and books should be included on these kinds of college reading lists?"
