Published in 1937 as Bronze Booklet Number 6 part of Alain Locke's adult education program through the Associates in Negro Folk Education. Locke's editorial foreword calls Brown's work the "first full-length presentation of this subject." Brown examines the social attitudes behind successive portrayals of Black life rather than treating literary characters as separate from the racial politics that produced them. Brown Sterling A. The Negro in American Fiction. Washington D.C.: The Associates in Negro Folk Education 1937. Bronze Booklet Number 6. Editorial Foreword by Alain Locke. First edition. 209 pages. 5.25 x 8.5 inches. Staple bound in illustrated wrappers. Brown begins with the appearance of Black characters in early American literature and follows their development through antislavery fiction plantation romances Reconstruction writing realism historical fiction and the work of Black novelists. He distinguishes recurring types and conventions from more closely observed portrayals of Black speech labor family life folklore and community. A folding table organizes authors and fictional treatments by period and category. The title page identifies Brown as Associate Professor of English at Howard University. The Associates in Negro Folk Education began the Bronze Booklet series under Locke's direction in the 1930s. The series' compact volumes presented Black history art music economics literature and racial politics for adult readers outside the limits of formal academic publication. Eight booklets appeared including works by Locke Ralph Bunche Sterling Brown and Eric Williams. Brown studies white authored stereotypes in contrast with an emerging body of Black fiction showing how literary forms grapple with the American legacy of slavery segregation and racial caricature. His parallel 1937 volume Negro Poetry and Drama extended the same critical project into other literary forms.

"The chief object of my work is to show that the extraordinary rapidity with which the enormous area described in it - equalling all Europe in size - was colonized was due to the discovery in 1847 of some 'glittering particles of gold' during the prosecution of an industrial work for practically the then only white settler in north California. It is intended also by giving on the one hand an account of the physical conditions which obtained within this immense territory prior to and at the time of that discovery and of the interesting and adventurous explorations through which those condition were made known and on the other hand an account of the wonderful changes brought about by the sudden intrsuion into it of a vigorous civilized people to afford my readers some idear of the impulse given to western settlement by that discoveru an impulse which was soon afterwards strongly felt both in Australia and New Zealand.
