Black Studies Readings on Reserve, Spring 2005

Here's the list of books that I asked to be put on reserve at Reed Library--a small sampling of some of the most important recent works on African American literature and culture. Please be aware that some of them had to be ordered (those without call numbers by them in particular), and may not have arrived yet. Although I will periodically update this list to indicate when newly-ordered books have arrived at the circulation desk, your best bet for the most up-to-date availability results is to check the list in the black book at the circulation desk. You can also go to the Reed Library web site, click on "Reed's Online Catalog," and search for works that don't yet have call numbers listed below-or for the relatively extensive collection of Black Studies books in the stacks at Reed Library.
