McNair, Sara C. VanderHaagen, and Michelle Taylor Watts The
Brownies' Book occupies a special place in the history of African
American children's literature. Informally the children's
counterpart to the NAACP's The Crisis magazine, it was one of the
first periodicals created primarily for Black youth. Several of the
objectives the creators delineated in 1919 when announcing the
arrival of the publication-"To make them familiar with the history
and achievements of the Negro race" and "To make colored children
realize that being 'colored' is a beautiful, normal thing"-still
resonate with contemporary creators, readers, and scholars of
African American children's literature. The meticulously researched
essays in A Centennial Celebration of "The Brownies' Book" get to
the heart of The Brownies' Book "project" using critical approaches
both varied and illuminating. Contributors to the volume explore
the underappreciated role of Jessie Redmon Fauset in creating The
Brownies' Book and in the cultural life of Black America; describe
the young people who immersed themselves in the pages of the
periodical; focus on the role of Black heroes and heroines; address
The Brownies' Book in the context of critical literacy theory; and
place The Brownies' Book within the context of Black futurity and
justice. Bookending the essays are, reprinted in full, the first
and last issues of the magazine. A Centennial Celebration of "The
Brownies' Book" illuminates the many ways in which the
magazine-simultaneously beautiful, complicated, problematic, and
inspiring-remains worthy of attention well into this century.
