User:Chavey/Authors of Color
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 exclusively of the intersection of Wikipedia's Native American writers + Native American novelists and the ISFDB writers, 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.
