What are the best books by black african-american negroes? Which ones do you prefer? Recommendations in this thread. The blacker the better.

I know you don't want actual answers and just want an edgy /pol/ thread, but I like autobiographies of freed slaves, such as those by Olaudah Equiano and Frederick Douglass.

Have you read Solomon Northup? He's from my hometown, and 12 Years A Slave was required reading in my high school.

Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace

Counternarratives by John Keene, very Borges-like.

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston, hilarious idioms from post civil war backwater towns. It's a bit sentimental, but still enjoyable.

Beloved by Toni Morrison, dont let the sappy title fool you, it's raw a fuck.

Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delaney. Weird SciFi "genreshit" but very dense.
>>
Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is good.

Deals with the nonsensical nature of American racial definitions, guy thinks he's black passing as white but he's really white passing as black

Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy

I'd stick to earlier AA fiction and intellectuals (particularly those who were around during reconstruction). Modern black literature is essentially the same book over and over.
