42. Searching For James Baldwin Great Black Authors Segregated From bookstores, whose particular market emphasizes specific groups literature is a pathway that can move us to need to parse out the African American adventure from http://www.commondreams.org/views03/1204-09.htm

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Featured Views Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Thursday, December 4, 2003 by Working for Change Searching for James Baldwin Great Black Authors Segregated from 'Literature' Shelves onto 'African American' Shelves by Byron Williams Last week, in an attempt to get a jump on my holiday shopping, I found myself in one of those large, impersonal, mega book/music/café establishments looking in the literary section for a hardcover version of James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain. Besides the fact that I allowed convenience to overrule my commitment to support small, privately owned bookstores as opposed to the prefabricated industrial size, what I discovered left me in disbelief. Strolling through the literary section, I could not find any work by Baldwin. How could this be? How could any reputable bookstore stock their shelves without the works of James Baldwin? Ernest Hemingway was there, T.S. Eliot was there, William Faulkner was there, and Mark Twain was there, but no James Baldwin. Hoping that they had merely sold out, I was compelled to ask someone why was there no James Baldwin available. Ironically, James Baldwin was available, but his work, along with other African American authors, was found in the much-condensed section earmarked specifically for black writers; a menagerie ranging from literary fiction on one end to anthropological research on the other. The collection was bound only by the authors' hue.
