The mission of the New York State Library is to provide reference, information and materials to support the work of New York State government and to ensure that every resident of the State has convenient free access to essential library services. To carry out this mission, the Library serves as the principal library resource for State government and serves as a coordinating and resource center for the statewide interlibrary loan network. If you cannot obtain the works listed in this bibliography at your local library, you may request them through interlibrary loan. Besides the bibliographic information, each entry in this bibliography contains the New York State Library call number in parenthesis. The use of this call number helps expedite the interlibrary loan process.
The African-American contributions to the arts are remarkable in their range and diversity, innovation and genius, and dynamic cultural influence on American society. The bibliographic entries on music covering the field from spirituals to jazz, from classical to pop and the performing arts are indicative of African-American artistic vitality and innovation.
In literature, the bibliographic entries draw attention to the long tradition of African-American literature, its distinctive rhetorical devices and narrative forms, the current renaissance in African-American literary criticism, and the concomitant rediscovery and reprinting of the works of pioneering African-American artists.
In art, the bibliographic entries illustrate not only the achievements but also the special difficulties faced by African- Americans in the visual and fine arts. In recent years, there has been a welcome and much-needed recognition of the work of African-American artists by curators, collectors, and art historians. This trend is increasing the number of publications relating to these artists and is an opportunity for libraries to strengthen and develop their holdings in this area.
This bibliography was compiled by Billie Aul and Melinda Yates, reference librarians on the staff of the New York State Library. The New York State Library would like to acknowledge the generous financial assistance of the Division of Intercultural Relations which makes the reprinting of this bibliography possible.
