http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/railton/enam312/enam712/cabell.html

Extractions: "The challenge of my project, if not exactly to invent a black theory, was to locate and identify how the 'black tradition' had theorized about itself" (ix). This sentence, taken from the Preface of Henry Louis Gates' book The Signifying Monkey , is the first indication to the reader that Gates' theory of African-American literary criticism is rooted in the actual texts of African-American literature. At first glance, such an indication may not seem worth noting. Indeed, we tend to take for granted that literary theories of specific genres or corpuses of texts do emanate from the texts themselves, and that critics stand on the foundations of specific textual evidence in claiming certain interpretations of bodies of text. However, all too often literary critics seem to approach a text with a particular reading firmly in mind, only then to proceed to read the text itself back against their critical presuppositions in search of "textual evidence." Such re-readings no doubt play a largerole in determining which texts critics cite in their theoretical studies.. This is not the case, however, with Gates' study of African-American literature. Gates' theory of African-American literature is firmly rooted in the texts themselves. Superb close readings of various texts from the black tradition, from slave narratives to Alice Walker's

http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/ethnicstudies/africanamerican/black_lit_main.htm

Extractions: 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 Daug hter ) 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 recognized as among the most significant and popular authors in this country. The following topics are the major divisions in this section dealing with African American literature in general. If you are more interested in a specific genre, go to the bottom of this page.

http://www.conferences.utah.edu/AALCS/society.html

Extractions: From the outset, the Executive Director and Executive Coordinators of the American Literature Assocation (ALA) sought to recognize and promote such well established African American literature author societies as the Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes Societies. Simultaneously, they sought to create other societies and reading groups for non-represented authors and an umbrella organization for this literary tradition as a whole. As a result four societies have been formed: the Toni Morrison, Charles Chesnutt, John Edgar Wideman, and George Moses Horton Societies. The African American Literature and Culture Society (AALCS) became the umbrella organization, during the ALA's fourth annual conference, May 28-30, 1993, at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.

or American literature, further subdivides more specific areas into even more specific divisions, such as American literature. African American authors.
http://www.unf.edu/~alderman/BLISS2/librariesoverview.html

Extractions: Libraries have always used some sort of classification system, whether it be by key word or concept, by size, or by subject. Even ancient libraries classified their scrolls and tablets. The underlying principle behind classification was to make materials easily accessible to library users. One of the earliest systems of classification used in the United States was Thomas Jefferson's adaptation of Sir Francis Bacon's system, which organized knowledge into three large divisions: history, poetry, and philosophy. Jefferson sold his library to the United States to replace the Library of Congress's collection which was destroyed by fire during the War of 1812. The Library of Congress continued using Jefferson's system, with modifications, until 1897, when the Library of Congress developed its own system to classify its collection of 1.5 million items. Since libraries have traditionally served as repositories of knowledge, a means of accessing this knowledge has always been a necessity. Today, computers make access relatively easy and a bit less reliant on classification, but subject cataloging still plays an important role in how we arrange and locate materials in a library. Even if all knowledge could be captured in machine-readable form, some means of classification would still be necessary. Today's computerized periodical databases still rely on subject classification as a means of organizing a search for materials. If a searcher relied solely on key words, narrowing a topic would become very time-consuming.
