    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 407 388 SP 037 304 AUTHOR Walters, Toni S., Comp.; Cramer, Amy, Comp. TITLE A Never Ending Never Done Bibliography of Multicultural Literature for Younger and Older Children. First Edition. PUB DATE 96 NOTE 51p. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adolescent Literature; Adolescents; *American Indian Literature; American Indians; Asian Americans; *Black Literature; Blacks; Children; Childrens Literature; Elementary Secondary Education; *Ethnic Groups; *Hispanic American Literature; Hispanic Americans; United States Literature IDENTIFIERS African Americans; *Asian American Literature; Latinos; *Multicultural Literature; Native Americans ABSTRACT People of all ages are addressed in this bibliography of multicultural literature. It focuses on four major ethnic groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans. Within each category a distinction is made between those works with an authentic voice and those with a realistic voice. An authentic voice is an author or illustrator who is from the particular ethnic group and brings expertise and life experience to his/her writings or illustrations. A realistic voice is that of an author or illustrator whose work is from outside that experience, but with valuable observations. An asterisk notes the distinction. No distinction is drawn between juvenile literature and adult literature. The decision is left to the reader to make the choices, because some adult literature may contain selections appropriate to children. Two appendices provide: a selected annotated bibliography (14 entries) on multiethnic/multicultural literature references and analyses and sources of multiethnic/multicultural books.(SPM) ******************************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Entries in the book are grouped into primary (K-2), intermediate (grades 3-5), and advanced (grades 6-8). Culled from lists compiled from 1989 to 1993, the trade books listed here offer many opportunities for reading aloud, discussion, and the stimulation of writing. The trade books included in the book were chosen because teachers believe they reflect high literary quality in style, content, structure, beauty of language, and presentation.

Miller Cataloging Services Department Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County September 2008 The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County 800 Vine Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202‐2071 513‐369‐6900 www.cincinnatilibrary.org The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, located on the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, opened its doors on August 23, 2004. The Freedom Center facility initially included the John Rankin Library, but funding issues eventually lead to the elimination of the librarian position and closing the library to the public. In the fall of 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center entered into an agreement for their John Rankin Library to be housed at the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati as a long‐term loan. The initial loan period is 10 years. The items from the Freedom Center have been added to the Library’s catalog and have been incorporated into the Main Library’s Genealogy & Local History collection. These materials are available for the public to check out, if a circulating item, or to use at the Main Library, if a reference work. The unique nature of the Freedom Center’s collection enhances the Main Library’s reference and circulating collections while making the materials acquired by the Freedom Center again available to the public.

African American history has influenced virtually every facet of our country’s culture. While many are aware of prominent African American contributions to literature, sports, and the visual arts, many are less informed of other impor- tant contributions and innovations in fields like science and technology. African American literature is too valuable to be confined only to February, during Black History month. Librarians and educators should share African American literature with children and teens throughout the year with various lessons and discussions. Through a more constant exposure to African American history and experience, young people can begin to relate on a more personal level.

  • Vivian Browne’S Tantrum-Throwing Subjects Epitomize White-Male Privilege by Victoria L
    Artist Vivian Browne’s Tantrum-Throwing Subjects Epitomize White-Male Privilege by Victoria L. Valentine May 12, 2019 “Seven Deadly Sins” (c. 1968) by Vivian Browne WHEN AFRICAN AMERICAN ARTISTS were weighing issues of race and representation in the 1960s, Vivian Browne (1929-1993) went in a unique direction. She began making drawings and paintings of white men in various states of rant, rage, and rebellion. Their white dress shirts and neckties indicate a certain professional status. They are men of privilege and power whose behavior is debasing. Considered her first major body of work, Browne called the series Little Men. Her subjects clench their fists and cross their arms in frustration, guzzle sloppily from bottles, and grasp their crotches pleasuring themselves. One holds his mouth wide open performing a vocal tantrum. In “Seven Deadly Sins,” a subject literally puts his foot in his mouth. Another work is titled “Wall Street Jump,” indicating the social realm, mindset, and financial status of its subjects. The expressive images make a political statement about white male patriarchy. Meanwhile, Browne’s masterful use of color serves a variety of purposes—defining space, indicating emotion, and guiding the viewer’s eye. The scenes that unfold across the 50-year-old works portray stereotyped personas that resonate today, calling to mind 21st century phenomena—the actions of those who might rail against “reverse” discrimination, the shameful and more blatant behavior exhibited by targets of the #MeToo Movement, and the brazen conduct of the current President of the United States.

Peirre-Noel: Black Women in the Visual Arts: A Comparative Study NATIONAl Black Women In the Visual Arts "Forever Free," by Edmonia Lewis 12 A Comparative Study By Lois Jones Pierre-Noel The strength and position of the Black woman artist has existed as an important contribution from the early history of Black American artists. Women artists emerged from a most discouraging beginning in this country to attain remarkable achieve- ments. For to be both "Black" and "wom- an" was to express one's creativity in "frustrating obscurity." Then, too, art history books failed to mention Black women artists before the middle of the 19th Century. From the mid-1800s to the 20th Cen- tury, the more significant contr.ibutions of Black women artists were made by those who traveled abroad for the recognition the American society was not willing to give. Outstanding in this group was Edmonia Lewis, one of the most vibrant personalities of her time.Born in New York in 1845, Lewis became the first Black woman sculptor.
