<p><strong><i>Question</i>: How come all books by black authors are automatically labeled as &#8220;urban&#8221; fiction?</strong><br />
I find this offensive and inaccurate. Why is urban fiction deemed an automatic synonym for any book by a black author or with mostly black characters? Urban fiction is usually a subsection of black- and sometimes even Latino- fiction and they are books that contain characters from large cities and revolve around a theme of poverty, drugs, and inner city life. But this is not where black books start or end.</p>
<p>I think those urban fiction themes are remarkably different from plots involving southern slavery, segregation or other black books that involve characters in a non inner city, non poverty capacity.</p>
<p>Once I went into a library in a nearby mostly black neighborhood and saw a sectio labeled &#8220;urban fiction&#8221; and in that section was a book entitled &#8220;The Known World&#8221;. This particular book takes place in 1850s Virginia and is about a free black man who owned slaves. Why is that considered urban fiction???</p>
<p>And why is black literature defined by Zane (erotica) or other books that focus on a drug culture? Every Barnes and Noble has a table like this. How come people forget the works by authors like Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Lalita Tademy, and many others. Does anyone else notice this?<br />
Deeya- I don&#8217;t see how black books about slavery/south are urban or stereotypical. They aren&#8217;t. They actually have social value and recount the experiences of our people and have a literary value. </p>
<p>Urban fiction can do the same for some segments of the black population but they are often written in such an obnoxious manner.</p>
<p>And there are plenty of black books that don&#8217;t have any of those themes.<br />
Lana T- I agree<br />
Read my entire question- why is urban a synonym for black? Why is a book that takes place on a rural farm in 1850s Virginia with black characters and a black author classified under urban fiction next to the Zane books? No one is denying what Zane or K&#8217;wan are about but not all of our books should automatically be labeled as such.</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by victimOF YAcultures &#038;group</i><br/>I told you urban was just another word for black lol.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question</i>: How come all books by black authors are automatically labeled as &#8220;urban&#8221; fiction?</strong><br />
I find this offensive and inaccurate. Why is urban fiction deemed an automatic synonym for any book by a black author or with mostly black characters? Urban fiction is usually a subsection of black- and sometimes even Latino- fiction and they are books that contain characters from large cities and revolve around a theme of poverty, drugs, and inner city life. But this is not where black books start or end.</p>
<p>I think those urban fiction themes are remarkably different from plots involving southern slavery, segregation or other black books that involve characters in a non inner city, non poverty capacity.</p>
<p>Once I went into a library in a nearby mostly black neighborhood and saw a sectio labeled &#8220;urban fiction&#8221; and in that section was a book entitled &#8220;The Known World&#8221;. This particular book takes place in 1850s Virginia and is about a free black man who owned slaves. Why is that considered urban fiction???</p>
<p>And why is black literature defined by Zane (erotica) or other books that focus on a drug culture? Every Barnes and Noble has a table like this. How come people forget the works by authors like Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Lalita Tademy, and many others. Does anyone else notice this?<br />
Deeya- I don&#8217;t see how black books about slavery/south are urban or stereotypical. They aren&#8217;t. They actually have social value and recount the experiences of our people and have a literary value. </p>
<p>Urban fiction can do the same for some segments of the black population but they are often written in such an obnoxious manner.</p>
<p>And there are plenty of black books that don&#8217;t have any of those themes.<br />
Lana T- I agree<br />
Read my entire question- why is urban a synonym for black? Why is a book that takes place on a rural farm in 1850s Virginia with black characters and a black author classified under urban fiction next to the Zane books? No one is denying what Zane or K&#8217;wan are about but not all of our books should automatically be labeled as such.</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by victimOF YAcultures &#038;group</i><br/>I told you urban was just another word for black lol.</p>
