Overview and Status

A start at a collection of links to authors of color, including Asians, Asian-Americans, Africans, African-Americans, other African diaspora authors, Native Americans, Caribbean, South American, Latin American, and Latinos (Hispanic-Americans). This will take a long time to do well, but here's a start.

Native American (American Indian)

This list consists of authors in Wikipedia's Native American writers and various other lists of Native American writers (including the Carl Brandon American Indian recommended reading list), and compared those to the authors which are also in the ISFDB (as of Feb. 10, 2014)..

In the columns below, the author's name links to their ISFDB entry. The numbers of books & short stories include only fiction publications. The "Publishing years" include non-fiction and magazine/anthology editor positions as well. Neither of these last two columns includes non-genre works by the author.
