Black Short Fiction and Folklore from Africa and the African Diaspora, When complete, will offer more than 8,000 short stories and folktales, ranging thematically from oral traditions that date back many hundreds of years to contemporary tales of modern life. In addition to these works, the database includes complete runs of selected literary magazines, such as Kyk-Over-Al and The Beacon as well as many early North American black-owned and edited journals and newspapers. Texts are in their original languages, including some, like the Gullah language of South Carolina, that have their origins in African countries and are still present in regions far from their source.
