This is the first reader’s advisory guide to focus specifically on African-American literature. It is designed to help book professionals better serve not only African-American readers, but all readers who enjoy works by African-American authors. It organizes titles by genres—crime and detective fiction, frontier literature, historical fiction, inspirational literature, speculative fiction, romance, and mainstream fiction. Title/author and subject indexes provide additional access. A list of resources for information on African-American authors will be posted on the Libraries Unlimited Web site as a supplement to the book. In all, more than 700 titles are categorized and described. Award-winning titles are noted. In addition, keywords, and subject lists accompany each entry. A brief history of the evolution of African-American literature, guidelines for collection development and research, and tips for the reader’s advisor makes this a complete resource for reader’s advisors, reference librarians, and collection development specialists in public and academic libraries.
