Blacks at Bradley 1897-2000
Founded in 1897 by Lydia Moss Bradley, Bradley University has embraced a diverse population for over 100 years. This photographic history, featuring close to 200 vintage images, focuses on the development of this institution and the African-American presence that shaped it. In January of 1963, Bradley Hall, and the student records it contained, was destroyed by fire. No effort was made until now to reconstruct or document the African-American population and its contributions to the institution. Using annuals, student newspapers, and photos provided by African-American alumni, this nearly lost history is being documented for the first time.

Çağdaş Amerikalı Zenci Romancılar
Amerika'da "zenci" (Negro) terimi bir stereotipi (kalıp imge), yani ayrımcılığı gösteren bir terim ise de, Türkiye'de bu sözcüğü aşağılama anlamında kullanmadığımızdan, Türk toplumunun değer yargılarını esas alarak kitabın özgün başlığı olan "Çağdaş Afro-Amerikan Romanı" yerine "Çağdaş Amerikalı Zenci Romancılar" başlığının Türk okurunca daha anlaşılır olacağına karar verdik. Kitabın içinde ise özgün terim• olan Afrika kökenli Amerikalı anlamına gelen "Afro-Amerikan" terimini kullanmakta bir sakınca görmedik Afro-Amerikan yazını, Amerika'daki çoğunluk/azınlık güç ilişkilerinden farklı bir şey olarak görülemez: "Kendi...
African-American Literature
Having its origins in the slave narratives and the folktales transmitted orally during that period, the literature of the African American has been rich and varied. Beginning with the first published work of fiction (Clotel; Or, the President's Daughter) in 1853, continuing under the influence of W E B Du Bois during the first part of this century, and reaching a flowering during the Harlem Renaissance, major contributions have been made to American literature. Today African American writers , such as Toni Morrison, Alex Haley, and Maya Angelou are recognised as among the most significant and popular authors in this country. This new book presents an important overview of African-American literature as well as a comprehensive bibliography with easy access provided by title, subject, and author indexes.
