I don't think they have an African-American literature section either. I don't think the library where I work does either. Of course, our library is consolidating everything: it used to break down mysteries, science fiction and romance, but now it's all lumped together into "Fiction." On Barnes & Noble online, I haven't looked to see how they have categories broken down, but I do know they have a lot of sub-genres available at the NookStore. Personally, at least, in that case, I'd like to have it broken down a little more to narrow my field of search. However, I understand what you're saying, because in terms of music, you're right, there is no black jazz, white jazz, black rap, white rap. It's all jazz. It's all rap. It's all good...well, not all of it, but that's a matter of subjective opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
