i O the last fifty years, the study of African American literature has grown rapidly in scope and importance. It is now a vital field of specialization in anyUSEnglish department ofmerit. And yet scholars of African American literature still lack thorough bibliographic knowledge of many of the texts at the heart of the field. Why has bibliographic study been marginalized within the field’s development, and what has been the intellectual impact of this inattention?

I 1988 Henry Louis Gates, Jr., published The Signifying Monkey, a book that would become a foundational work in African American literary studies. The study’s influence can be traced to the way Gates fashions both a method and a metaphor for reading African American literature on its own terms. “Repetition, with a signal difference,” or Signifyin(g), is the method of Black vernacular meaning-making Gates imports into literary criticism. In his account, an oral-based culture of constant and tactical revision informs howBlack writers “signify” on the culture of letters in order to make it their own. While Gates surveys studies in contemporary linguistics to make this point, the stakes of his argument lie deeper in the past. As a method of creation and interpretation, he contends, Signifyin(g) derives from practices as old as African civilizations’ contact withWestern European colonizers. From the Yoruba divine trickster Esu-Elegbara down to New World folktales shared among the enslaved, practices of rhetorical troping have survived through the character of the Signifying Monkey, which Gates describes as “an indigenous black

I 1976, Carolyn Fowler, Associate Professor of Black Literature at Atlanta University, began circulating mimeograph copies of an enumerative bibliography consisting of eight hundred entries focusing on a variety of African American arts. Fowler earned her BA and MA in French at UCLA Berkeley and her PhD in Romance Languages at the University of Pennsylvania in 1972. She was a specialist in French literature and the Haitian writer Jacques Roumain. Still, her most cited composition was her Black Arts era article, “The Black Writer and His Role” (published when she was known as Carolyn F. Gerald), appearing first inNegro Digest in 1969 and then reprinted in Addison Gayle Jr.’s landmark edited collection, The Black Aesthetic (1971). The rise of the Black Arts Movement and the popularity of her article likely led Fowler to add Black Arts and Black Aesthetics to her research agenda moving forward.
