Afro-American Fiction: Contemporary Research and Criticism, 1965-1978
Because of considerations of space, I have purposely excluded most works not specifically literary in character. I have done nothing, for example, with black folklore, though it bears an extremely important relation to fiction by black writers. For the same reason, I have not attempted to include reference to the hundreds of essays devoted to literature by black authors, though the bibliography section indicates where lists of such articles can b…
