Slippery Slopes And Proliferating Prizes Though this rise in africanamerican creators and books cannot be linked solely to with judging a work strictly on its own merits, not its author bio. http://www.hbook.com/publications/magazine/articles/may01_aronson.asp
Extractions: Slippery Slopes and Proliferating Prizes By Marc Aronson Story of the Negro , a 1949 Newbery Honor Book, aside), and there were relatively few African Americans working in the field. Things were not a great deal better by 1982 when ALA recognized the award, although by that time two black authors, Virginia Hamilton and Mildred Taylor, had won the Newbery, and Leo and Diane Dillon (an interracial team) had secured two Caldecotts. For those who have been ignored, denied their due place as creators, as readers, as a public, there is a pure existential value in being acknowledged. There is real power in saying, We are here, we do count, we have something to say. The more frequently and powerfully this point is made, the more new artists are likely to join the field. But there is an undertow beneath this swell of success. By insisting on testing the racial identity of its winners, the CSK shifts its focus from literature to biography. Who you are, which box or boxes you check on the census form, comes first. Your community, your ethnicity, comes before your talent. And as long as the prize is essentially a community honoring and encouraging its own, it is not clear how the rest of the public is meant to react.

Extractions: "The contribution made by Blacks to American art is little known to the general public. This book remedies the lack of information and surprises by the African American's vigour in expression and talent. . . . An artistic explosion occurred in the mid-twentieth century, whichproduced some outstandingly good paintings and sculptures. This book is based on serious research, with a seven page bibliography and detailed index." (Eva L. Meyerowitz, Apollo) Beginning with the arts produced in the Colonial period, Dr. Lewis documents and interprets the flow of creative productions of an important segment of the American population. Her book shows that the range of art produced by African American artists covers the entire spectrum of craft production through painting, sculpture, and printmaking. There is a progressive development of style that not only reflects the trends in particluar periods, but reveals an evolving pattern of indigenous qualities that are distinct.
