They are Virginia Hamilton, Julius Lester, Walter Dean Myers, and Mildred D. Taylor; they serve as the foundation of young adult literature and provide robust stories that center and illuminate African American youth. In addition, this volume also examines the role of the Coretta Scott King Award in promoting access and visibility to authors and illustrators who shine a spotlight on African American youth and society. The chapter authors--librarians and established and emerging scholars in the field of young adult literature--survey the work of Hamilton, Lester, Myers, or Taylor; their accolades; and how audiences initially responded to their work. Each chapter highlights a single work and discusses how it might be taught, providing pre, during, and post reading activities or, in some cases, individual, small group, or whole class activities. This volume is a resource for classroom teachers, teacher educators, reading specialists, librarians, and other educators who study, research, and read young adult literature. This first volume supplements studies in the foundations of African American authors of young adult literature and explorations of critical works by these authors."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $x Study and teaching. $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a Young adult literature, American $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Young adult literature, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Youth $x Books and reading $z United States. 650 0 $a African American youth $x Books and reading. 650 0 $a Young adults $x Books and reading $z United States. 700 1 $a Bickmore, Steven T., $e editor. 700 1 $a Clark, Shanetia P., $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781475843545 830 0 $a African American authors of young adult literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3623C8225D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
