A monumental collection by one of Americas greatest authors of childrens literature and the launch of a new imprint, ReLIT, that republishes lost classics for a modern readership!Virginia Hamilton (19362002) was not only one of the most magnificent writers who ever lived winning honors such as the Newbery Medal, Newbery Honor, National Book Award, and the Coretta Scott King Award for classics like The House of Dies Drear, The People Could Fly, M. C. Higgins the Great, and Her Stories she was one of the greatest thinkers we ever had on childrens literature. Born to a family of storytellers, she wove into her books and thoughts a deep concern with memory, tradition, and generational legacy, especially as they helped define the lives of African Americans from the days of slavery onward. Hamilton described her work as liberation literature. This landmark book since fallen out of print and now lovingly restored and repackaged in this gorgeous edition brings together her essays, speeches, and interviews into one thoughtprovoking, incisive, inspiring whole.Presented in a high quality flexibound binding, Liberation Literature also features a foreword by Laura Pegram, founder of Kweli; an introduction by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, the mother of multicultural childrens literature; and a fullcolor frontispiece portrait of Virginia Hamilton, illustrated by Caldecott Medalists Leo & Diane Dillon. It is a musthave for anyone interested in writing, the history of African American representation, childrens literature, and literature overall.
