- Booksforblacks.net was launched in 1995 with a few writers and sporadic book reviews. Over the years we have tried to present some of the most beneficial books for African Americans and People of Color. We’ve been busy doing other work and haven’t had a consistent web presence.
- We are now re-committing ourselves to bringing you book reviews that represent the best of black culture and community, not just from America, but from all over the world. We are adding film and music reviews, news and links to other important websites to hopefully keep you engaged, up to date and informed. Stay with us and help us grow into an online community you can trust and be proud of.

Dorothy L. Ferebee is also the author of a new book, How to Create Your Own African American Library. This is the first book ever written to help African Americans build a home library that represents the experiences of African Americans through history, biography, autobiography, health, the arts, and much more.
“Like a farmer sowing seed, Dorothy Ferebee’s carefully chosen selections
for an African American Library supply both essential guidance for newcomers
to a literature more discussed than read, and the groundwork for delicious debate
among avid readers of this genre over the author’s choices
.”
Derrick Bell, author of Ethical Ambition: Living a Life of Meaning and Worth,
and Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism
