When I first published his first novel, The Ebony Tree, I will never forget how I found out later that my then 23-year-old niece ran through the house and screamed with laughter, having read the book. Now mind, my niece has always been an avid reader of romance novels as her white early teens, but by reading my book was like landing on Mars for her. She reportedly asked her mother: "Mama, did Aunt Maxine make this up? Did you guys actually 'play white'?"

......My sister-in-law told her, "Not only did we play white, I dream in white. That's all I've ever seen in books or on TV are white characters. It seemed as if have all the fun ."
......Typically, the majority of blacks grew up in the 50's with pictures on the wall a white Jesus, white Santa Claus, and even the white angels. There was nothing in the media or in books that reflect the beauty of blackness. Needless to say, is there any books with the Bible in the house, they were black book. It sends a silent message that Black is bad and white is beautiful. This is a negative experience when reading was forbidden to the slaves.

......Yes, the Book Expo 1999 was a big eye-otvarač.Loša news is this: our problems (such as African-American writers) are far from over. When I compared the book represents the major publishers, I have seen that the percentage of Black Book is infinitesimally small compared to other races. Neither one is a prophet, but I feel the number of African American books can disappear like they did after the Harlem Renaissance, after the end of the 40s, after the revolutionary 60's, if you do not take control of their own writing.

......2 Continuity with their ancestors. To paraphrase Toni Morrison: "If you do not write about the place since then do not write about what ."

......6.Način promote racial understanding for other ethnic groups. I learn a lot about other parts of the diaspora when I read the book Haitian Americans, or when I read the Chinese American literature, or any other culture literature.
...Recently, a teacher told me to sign books, that the survey was conducted in her school. It was found that all the little black girls said that their image of beauty is still blond, blue-eyed child. Imagine! It was December, 1999! It reminds me of the tragic story of Toni Morrison book, the bluest eyes, where he scourged Black child, Peco, crazy, all because she wanted blue eyes. This book is the setting was oko 1940.
