Fight Erasure: Build a Library of Resistance
In a time when history and culture are under attack, access to diverse stories is more vital than ever.
Our Living Banned & Challenged Books List is a curated, evolving collection of essential reads—from children’s picture books to adult fiction and non-fiction—that have been targeted for their truth and representation. This resource empowers you to build a decolonized bookshelf and stand against censorship.
Offered on a “pay what you can” basis, this project ensures everyone can access these critical works while supporting the labor behind it. Together, let’s protect knowledge, amplify silenced voices, and preserve our shared humanity.
Behind the Shop
Hey y'all!
My name is Dominique and I'm the book-obsessed owner of Paperbacks & Frybread Co. I'm proudly repping the Lumbee Tribe while juggling roles as a wife, homeschooling mama of 6, business owner, writer, and artist.
This shop was birthed from my love of of the written word combined with my passion to get back home to my roots.
Embracing my cultural identity gave me a sense of community, and that's what I wanna pass on to you. A community centered around nerdy goodness, the written word, and appreciation for all.
If you've read this far, we should be friends. Come over to my Instagram and let me know you came from the shop!
XOXO, Dominique
