Teaching Black Literature by Suzanne Scafe

The author examines the role of literature in a multicultural curriculum. She argues that for the text to be valued, it cannot simply be a matter of introducing a few Black texts in the early years of schooling which reduce in number and attention once students face public examinations. Her concern is for the ways in which readings of Black literature may challenge the restrictive criteria of an established canon of literature.
