This article lays out many of the same discussions taking place on Writing With Color, but it also provides a look into the history of representation in U.S. publishing, how racial stereotypes in literature are transmitted across generations, and hope for breaking the cycle.
“Thinking about the black child characters in those stories. They were meant to teach us something, to teach us about our glorious past and the fact that we had come so very far as a people. These narratives were all about racial uplift. So they would be about slavery and freedom. The characters would be enslaved. They would be about overcoming racism during Jim Crow and the civil rights era. Or, more rarely, they were, “This is what it’s like to live in the ghetto.”
So those were the only three kinds of black characters that you tended to find in stories as protagonists. But when I was younger, it just felt like I was doubling up on history lessons. I wanted to read about fairytales and science fiction and fantasy. I wanted fun reads. It’s not necessarily fun to have to be confronted with racism, whether or not it’s in the past or the present, as a child. And unfortunately, a lot of those early books, that was all we had.”
