Happy New Year from the Afro-Librarians!
We hope you all enjoyed the holiday season and are starting the new year with new goals, resolutions and fresh perspectives. Here in the afro-library we are preparing a series of posts for the month of January that re-examine the African American literary genre. The first three posts include:
1) The Role of Biography in African American Thought
2) Back to the Woodshed: What Is African American Literature
3) Does African American Literature Exist A review of Kenneth Warren’s critical essays
In these and subsequent posts, we will revisit the construction of the African American literary canon. What is African American literature? What makes it great? Who is included in the African American literary canon and is their inclusion justified?
Admittedly, this is quite an ambitious way to begin the new year but we welcome challenges in 2014!
Stay tuned . . . .
The Afro-Librarians 
I like your ambitious plans and look forward to reading and learning.
Glad you like! Second post coming this weekend!
Hey! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after
browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be
bookmarking and checking back frequently!
So happy you found us!
