Books From the African Diaspora

This is short compilation of some classic and modern novels, memoirs, published articles, YA fiction, and children's fiction written by authors from the African diaspora (authors of African decent from around the globe). I have read most of these books, with a few in my, "to-read" queue. These are great additions to your bookshelf, or check them out at your local public library.
