books for black peaple?

I'm pretty sure everybody, including blacks (I know, crazy idea), is allowed to read whatever they want... welcome to 2006! By the way, how is 1853? Probably shitty.

Hahahahaha, this question is fun to read through!

But seriously, there are sections of bookstores devoted to...um... what do they call it... I think Black Entertainment or Black Studies. At least, the Borders and Waldenbooks stores around here do.

Go into a store and investigate yourself--you can't go wrong there. :) Usually areas are labeled, but if you're confused, just ask someone. Also, if you don't choose a specifically "black" book, why not just pretend the characters *are* black? (I happen to do that sometimes, without thinking--and I'm not even black.) Or just not worry about it at all?

Ok, this is what bordersstores.com categorizes "books for black people" as:

Literature/ Fiction > African American > African American Fiction

I know that at some stores they replace "African American" with the slang "black" instead.

Do you mean (BY ) African Americans? Now If you mean books ( For) Black People, then, any book ever published is available to anyone of any race.
Please rephrase your question!!
