Contemporary Black Biography

Profiles from the International Black Community
Volume 77
eBook version
Published by Gale

Each volume of Contemporary Black Biography contains at least 65 full-length biographies written in an easy-to-follow prose style, ranging from 2 to 4 pages each. Arranged alphabetically, entries are divided by subheads for quick scanning. Sections cover: portrait (as available), date and place of birth, educational background, address, career data, memberships, awards received, detailed prose essay, and complete source citations.

Contemporary Black Biography is not limited to coverage of only notable black Americans, nor is it restricted by a manufactured definition of "contemporary." Its multinational coverage spans this century and includes rising personalities as well as groundbreakers and newsmakers in a variety of fields.

Review:

"Recommended for general readers and students through the first two years of college."
