      abstract = {Collaborating on The Norton Anthology of African American  Literature, editors Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Nellie Y.  McKay have compiled what may be the definitive collection  of its kind. Organized chronologically, the massive work  gathers writings from six periods of black history: slavery  and freedom; Reconstruction; the Harlem Renaissance;  Realism, Naturalism and Modernism; the Black Arts Movement  and the period since the 1970s. The work begins with the  vernacular tradition of spirituals, gospel and the blues;  continues through work songs, jazz and rap; ranges through  sermons and folktales; and embraces letters and journals,  poetry, short fiction, novels, autobiography and drama.},
