This volume makes a much-needed contribution to the field of Afro-American studies by providing subject access to a wealth of materials on the black experience in the Americas. Sources include titles generally considered to be reference tools, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, catalogs, indexes, abstracts, bibliographies, and resource guides, as well as selected resources such as classic history texts and anthologies that fall outside the traditional reference area. Throughout, the emphasis is on the United States, although a significant number of citations from Canada, the Caribbean, and South America are also included. This index to Afro-American reference sources covers specific chapters and subdivisions within works in addition to providing general subject access to entire works that include helpful information on the black experience.
