Description
The most ambitious work of its kind, this encyclopedia provides more than 1100 biographical and topical entries by more than 300 scholars and reflects the vast cultural diversity of American literature.

Reviews:
-This is a perfect resource for students (and librarians) who wish to find authors who are of a specific ethnicity. This is a good starting point for research, providing basic information and cross-references to related topics. This could be used by advanced junior high school students and certainly by all high school students, primarily in literature courses. Recommended. —Library Media Connection
-Unique to this set is its scope; it is the first reference work that aspires to provide a comprehensive sketch of American ethnic writing....This work is recommended without reservation for larger public libraries and academic libraries. —Reference & User Services Quarterly
-[A]ny library that serves a population which has an interest in literature, whatever its ethnic status, would do well to have this handsome work on its shelves. —Reference Reviews
-The publication of this encyclopedia is worthy of celebration. An ambitious project, it is the first reference work that seeks to offer a comprehensive introduction to a spectacularly diverse range of ethnic American writing. The editor and contributors live up to that statement. The represented ethnic literatures include African American, Amish, Chinese American, Jewish American, Native American, and Vietnamese American, among many others. There are over 1,100 signed entries, of which approximately 1,000 are on individual authors. Entries run in length from one to several pages and are followed by a list of suggested readings....Highly recommended, this is an essential work for high school, college, and public libraries. —MultiCultural Review
