Organized according to medium and appropriate age ranges, it includes a brief annotation for each item. Suggestions for use of the guide are provided, as are the following criteria for selecting resources for black girls: (1) accurate presentation of history; (2) non-stereotypical characterization; (3) non-derogatory language and terminology; and (4) illustrations demonstrating the diversity of the black experience. Also included are distributors and retailers from whom materials are available. (LHW)
