African American Literature Book Club

As the "oldest, largest, and most popular online bookstore dedicated to African-American and Black literature from around the world," the African American Literature Book Club (AALBC) is a rich source of top-quality literature and more. Founded and managed by award-winning educator and public speaker Troy Johnson, AALBC provides numerous useful resources. Clicking "Authors" in the menu at the top of the page provides visitors with profiles of over 5,000 Black authors and illustrators. In the same menu there are book and film reviews ("Reviews"), lists of noteworthy and bestselling books ("Books"), and a discussion forum for the #readingblack campaign ("Discussion"), which encourages the consumption of books by Black authors. AALBC also coordinates with events promoting Black literature ("Events"), including book fairs, literary festivals, conferences and conventions, award shows, and more. Finally, the "Resources" page includes links to services for readers, such as lists of Black-owned bookstores, newspapers, websites, and blogs; book clubs across the U.S., Canada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; and author resources such as manuscript editing, book printing, and beyond. Scholars of literature, Black and African American history and culture, and sociology, as well as readers seeking to expand their understanding of the Black experience, will find AALBC to be a comprehensive and impeccably-curated collection of knowledge and culture which demonstrates that "Black literature is for everyone."
