How do you select the best recent works of fiction, oral
tradition, and poetry about African-American, Asian-American,
Hispanic-American, and Native-American Indian experiences and
traditions from the profusion of titles being published today? This
annotated bibliography of titles for children and young adults
published from 1985 through the end of 1993--with 60% published
since 1990--provides a one-stop selection tool. Appraisals of 559
titles, as well as information about an additional 188 recent books
and 90 earlier ones of importance, are provided.
Each entry features a plot summary incorporating themes,
critical comments with a judgment of the book's value as an example
of its genre, suggestions of other books by that writer, and
related books of importance. The authors, who are recognized
authorities in children's literature, and an advistory board of
librarians and teachers, each of whom specializes in the literature
of a particular ethnic group, have provided insightful critical
appraisals and expertise and guidance in the selection of titles.
Helpful subject, grade-level, author, title, and illustrator
indexes are organized for ease of use. Titles in the grade-level
and subject indexes are also identified by ethnic group.
