African American Literature Having its origins in the slave narratives and the folktales transmitted orally during that period, the literature of the African American has been rich and varied. Beginning with the first published work of fiction ( Clotel; Or, the President's Daug hter ) in 1853, continuing under the influence of W.E.B. Du Bois during the first part of this century, and reaching a flowering during the Harlem Renaissance, major contributions have been made to American literature. Today African American writers , such as Toni Morrison, Alex Haley, and Maya Angelou are recognized as among the most significant and popular authors in this country. The following topics are the major divisions in this section dealing with African American literature in general. If you are more interested in a specific genre, go to the bottom of this page.

Advertisements Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Advertisements If you were to stroll into your local Borders bookstore to look for, say, Paradise , Toni Morrison's latest novel, you'd probably go to the literature section. But Paradise wouldn't be there. Borders' corporate policy is to shelve Morrison's books, along with just about everything else written by black authors, in a separate African American literature section. Since the 1970s, Borders has divided its inventory of literary books into three sections: general literature, African American literature, and gay and lesbian literature. But because of the way Borders catalogs its books buyers at the company's headquarters in Ann Arbor, Mich., assign each book a single routing code that tells local stores where to put it the policy usually means that when a store gets a shipment of
