AFRICA ACCESS
This online database contains reviews and annotations of over 900 materials on Africa. These critiques and descriptions were written by university professors, librarians, and teachers most of whom have lived in Africa and have graduate degrees in African Studies. Africa Access Review is a collective response to the critical need for authoritative information about children's materials on Africa. Studies have repeatedly shown that many U.S. libraries that serve children contain biased and stereotypical materials on Africa. We encourage educators to use the information provided here to build accurate and balanced collections on Africa.
