The rising market trend for African American authors began in the 60's with the civil rights movements but the impact of African American authors was felt before America was a nation when published black writers were slaves and abolitionists.

Phillis Wheatley was the first to make her mark in the African American writer community. As a child and sold in Boston to the Wheatleys, she did not speak any English when she arrived. However under the teachings of her owners she was able to conquer the English language. In 1773 as a slave she published several poems on various subjects. It took almost another 100 years for another African American to get any kind of major publication. In 1845 Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was the next. After Douglas escaped slavery for the second time the book was published. Soon thereafter the American Civil War started, this opened the door for new educational freedom for African Americans.

At the turn of the 20th century, African American book clubs were formed and a new black culture where books were shared in the informal book clubs. There was a debate between Booker T Washington and W.E.B. DuBois on how African Americans can better themselves.

The 21st century has brought another revolution to publishing for every age from child targeted to adult eBook ingenuous metaphors on race and cultural identity. The internet has revolutionized publishing to niche markets of every age from child targeted to adult eBook Ingenuous metaphors on race and cultural identity most notably African American authors abound. From bookstore and African American book clubs to eBooks has been a journey of its own. To understand this impact a sort look at history is in order.

Education advances in the 20th century led to expanded black cultural awareness across America. Early African American literature was often political or spiritual in nature when published African American authors were slaves and abolitionists but the first published book by an African American was the poetry of Phillis Wheatley.

African American authors looking to be published are exploring the internet black eBook industry where the African American Literature eBook niche market is thriving even in this difficult economy.

African American Literature may only be a book case in your local library but any search reveals poets, fiction, novels, advice, and history even adult eBooks.
