Approximately 175 books dealing with "the experience of black people" in America and produced by both black and white authors are listed in this bibliography. Entries include not only accounts of black personal experience--autobiography, poetry, and fiction--but also social and historical documents, anthologies, and specialized studies. A few items on African culture supply an anthropological cross-cultural viewpoint. The books are classified into four age groups (5-8, 9-12, 13-15, and high school-adult), brief annotations are provided, and paperback editions are noted. (LH)
