Until recently, scholars believed that African American children's
literature did not exist before 1900. Now, Who Writes for Black
Children? opens the door to a rich archive of largely overlooked
literature read by black children. This volume's combination of
analytic essays, bibliographic materials, and primary texts offers
alternative histories for early African American literary studies
and children's literature studies. From poetry written by a slave
for a plantation school to joyful "death biographies" of African
Americans in the antebellum North to literature penned by African
American children themselves, Who Writes for Black Children?
presents compelling new definitions of both African American
literature and children's literature. Editors Katharine Capshaw and
Anna Mae Duane bring together a rich collection of essays that
argue for children as an integral part of the nineteenth-century
black community and offer alternative ways to look at the
relationship between children and adults. Including two
bibliographic essays that provide a list of texts for future
research as well as an extensive selection of hard-to-find primary
texts, Who Writes for Black Children? broadens our ideas of
authorship, originality, identity, and political formations. In the
process, the volume adds new texts to the canon of African American
literature while providing a fresh perspective on our desire for
the literary origin stories that create canons in the first place.
