The objective of this work is to provide a representative identification of the books which are written and illustrated by black writers and artists. One of its purposes is to facilitate the identification of these books especially for the benefit of young readers, their nurturers and teachers, and for the general public, as well. The dispersed, and thus concealed, status of many of these books has contributed inadvertently to the paucity of information about the true extent of the contributions made by black writers and artists to the field of literature for children and young adults. In addition, the common omission of blacks from many standard reference and biographical information sources increases the value of this book and its focus. It should prove useful in providing meaningful responses to frequently asked questions regarding the identification of indigenous textual and graphical materials for young readers and students.
