Massive List of Books by Black Authors - Page 21

I haven't seen many lists here focusing on black authors. I compiled this from loads of online lists: fiction, non-fiction, history, plays, poetry, novels, fantasy, science-fiction, literary, academic, romance, middle-grades, picture books, young adult, speculative fiction, historical fiction, travel writing, essays, humor and more. My only concern was that the author should be "black" or of African descent. Please forgive any mistakes or omissions.
