Is or was there such a person? I know of John Edgar Wideman, but I have never heard of a "Wedeman" before. Could you clarify, please? <BR/>Thanks!saraw1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02432506903939110662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-66920642313879038572006-12-20T17:44:00.000-05:002006-12-20T17:44:00.000-05:00I read different genres (including science fiction...I read different genres (including science fiction/Octavia Butler, and Mr. Massey's books) and I don't need anyone to guide me to do anything to find them. I think you should treat readers as adults. OK that also means you shouldn't put all of the African American books in one place, so I hope I didn't sound too harsh in my comments when I said the other comments sound elitist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-37057371792672502922006-12-13T16:13:00.000-05:002006-12-13T16:13:00.000-05:00There's nothing wrong with meeting a niche market,...There's nothing wrong with meeting a niche market, but at the same time perhaps the last comment is right and certain genres should be found in general genre listing.

However, I think you can separate out classics and other genres and leave the black section to "Street Fiction and religious themes" and send the other genres like yours, horror, science fiction and non fiction to those particular sections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-1437513811189811692006-12-11T10:46:00.000-05:002006-12-11T10:46:00.000-05:00Why does the tone of these comments strike me as t...Why does the tone of these comments strike me as terribly elitist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-84543657955306377422006-12-11T10:33:00.000-05:002006-12-11T10:33:00.000-05:00The article covers book stores and not the publish...The article covers book stores and not the publishing industry in general.

If it wasn't for that segregation these writers would not have an audience. I do not think that's a positive thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
