How Major Book Review Editors Stereotype Black Authors.
Fikes, Robert, Jr.
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n33 p110-13 Aut 2001

In recent years, most black-authored books publicized in the press have focused on racial themes or featured blacks in central roles. However, books by African Americans that are not about the black experience are plentiful. (SM)
