SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 71 APPENDIX 74 BIBLIOGRAPHY 81 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Prior to current publishing practices, an all-white publishing world dictated what would and would not go into print. Some publishers refused to read a manuscript from a black author or to welcome him for an interview (stereotyped belief that blacks did not excel in the literary arts).

Prior to 1965, black authors had little encourage ment from publishers to write stories about the black experience. White publishers were not interested in accepting books by black authors because they thought the markets were not open for such books and the viewpoints held by black authors were of no interest to them.1 As early as the 1930's, three black authors: Langston Hughes, Arna Bontemp, and Countee Cullen published books about black children; however, the majority of black ■^-Carole Parks, "Goodbye Black Sambo," Ebony (November, 1972), 62.
