Hey let's celebrate. In 2010 there were 40 YA books published by African American authors. Hurray, Yippe-Skipee. Now let's see how many YA books were published in all? 3,000. What the what???? If my math is correct (which it is cuz I stole this info from Zetta's blog) that is 2%. Does anyone else no longer feel like celebrating? Does anyone else feel really ticked off? Whose fault is this? Publishers, booksellers, readers? I don't know but it's really disgraceful. If you want to know more check out my BFF Zetta Elliott over at Fledgling. Until next time.
