"A readable and valuable research guide with thorough and thoughtful discussions... Highly recommended." — Choice
"There is considerable reference value to this book." — David Isaacson, American Refrence Books Annual
"An eloquent and perceptive overview of this rapidly expanding world." — Dr. Andrew Radford, Journal of American Studies
"A valuable reference book that promotes the knowledge of and respect for African American post-1970s literatures and cultures." — Bernard W. Bell, African-American Review
"In focusing on the latter half of the twentieth century, this release of The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction is unique in its sustained attention to writers and topics often inadequately represented or simply overlooked in guides intent on covering the entire span of African American literary history. The result is an impressive reference tool that is especially rich in its coverage of black postmodern literary culture." — Winston Napier, Clark University, editor of African American Literary Theory: A Reader
