Wilfred D. Samuels – Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature

The five-volume Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Literature set is an invaluable examination of the literature of a variety of ethnic backgrounds—Asian-American, American Indian, Jewish-American, African-American, and Hispanic-American. Each A-to-Z reference features hundreds of entries covering important authors and works, both the historically significant and the contemporary, from all genres of that literary tradition. Helpful reference features in each volume, including bibliographies, cross-references, and an index, further increase the value of these essential works in the high school and college classroom.
