Black Book History, February 2019

This month, I'll run a series of entries focusing on Black Book History -- the production and reception of several key works. The series provides a contribution to Black History by way of African American literary studies. Some of the works, including photography and comic books, might even extend the bounds of what people typically study in literature courses.
