Review
"This title is the newest (and a welcome) addition to the Icon series, from Greenwood Icons. In this rich, well-written resource, students and fans alike find a detailed yet approachable overview of the major players and movements within African American literature. . . . Highly recommended as an academic library purchase, especially if the library owns other books in the Icon series, though the book is strong enough to stand on its own merit. Large public libraries with a significant African American literature readership will also find this tome to be a worthwhile collection purchase." - Booklist
