RACE, ETHNICITY AND PUBLISHING IN AMERICA

I've been rereading this book that Manuel Brito was kind enough to send me as part of my preparation for the Early African Diasporic seminar at Penn State.

This volume has great chapters on early black historians, The Southern Negro and the Public Library, Hurston and stereotypes, Toomer and the Double Dealer, Phillis Wheatley "in Slavery's Recollective Economies" and much else. Manuel's own chapter is on "Widening the Paradigm of American Literature: Small Presses in the Publishing and Creation of New Hispanic Texts."
