Offering more than 400 street-lit titles, this guide helps readers'
advisors and other librarians to better understand the genre and
collect and recommend titles ranging from romance and coming-of-age
stories to action stories and erotica. Street lit is also known to
its enthusiastic readers as "urban fiction," "ghetto lit," "hip-hop
lit," and "gangsta lit." No matter what it's called, it remains one
of the most significant and increasingly popular forms of modern
literature. This text provides a much-needed resource guide to this
vibrant genre. In this title, more than 400 entries appear in
eleven chapters, each focusing on a different subgenre of street
lit. The author has organized titles by popular subgenres and
themes, such as prison life and urban erotica, to help librarians
more easily identify read-alikes. Urban Grit: A Guide to Street Lit
also contains practical tips on integrating these books into an
existing collection or library program and meeting challenges that
may arise in the process.
