Black History Month is in February and I'm working on a reading list for teens. I would appreciate any suggestions, fiction or non-fiction that you folks would like to recommend.
Links to blogs or current reading lists would be greatly appreciated.
One of my favorites is James Baldwin. Go Tell It On the Mountain, Giovanni's Room or If Beale Street Could Talk. *His novels are often with gay themes so be aware whether or not you want teens to read these books.*
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man is a must, one of the best American novels of the 20th century. It was written in the early '50s, and so offers perspective on issues of identity and politics in that era of the civil rights movement. For its time it was loose, freestyle prose; compared to lots of contemporary writing, of course, it doesn't seem all that experimental. But it's a good read, and if I were to name just one book to devote to for Black History Month, this would be my recommendation.
