African American Book References

I recommend these books to anyone interested in African American studies. These links are very helpful for research projects and course syllabuses. If you are here for recreational purposes, this is also an excellent place to discover new themes and individuals. This collection is only a starting point to the hundreds of literature that exist on African American history and culture. These books are also available in local bookstores and libraries.
