A is For Anansi

Black Holocaust For Beginners author, S.E. Anderson, wants everybody to know that the New York University's A is For Anansi: Literature for Children of African Descent is coming up on the 8th and 9th of October. The presentation is presented by the Institute of African American Affairs at New York University and will be held at the Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, Room 914.


A Is For Anansi will cover the history, criticism and theory of contemporary books for and about children of African descent, as told by its most influential critics, scholars, teachers and producers. The need for more in-depth analysis and for more information, critical evaluation, and publications on this topic still remain. The conference will look at these and consider other questions and issues as well.


There there will be a long line up of presenters ranging from teachers to publishers to writers, speaking on the importance of reading. It's sure to be a great event.
