<p>ALAWiT is a resource for readers, writers, publishers, students and teachers interested in Afro-American and Latin American culture in general, and Afro-Latin American culture in particular. It gathers book covers, excerpts, bibliographic clues and digital downloads of works by black Latin American authors in original language and in translation. <!-- more --></p> <p>The collection is organized by dynamic lists, which group the works according to common characteristics (<a href="/criteria/author">authors</a>, <a href="/criteria/city">city of publication</a>, <a href="/criteria/publisher">imprint or publisher</a>, <a href="/criteria/nationality">nationality of authors</a>, <a href="/criteria/edition">edition date</a> and <a href="/criteria/repository">digital repository</a>). But it also has a <a href="/search">search engine</a> that allows you to find works directly.</p> <p>Today there are approximately 90 books available on ALAWiT, organized by 118 authors, 86 presses and publishers, and 31 repositories. In addition, 31 more works are in progress.</p> <p>ALAWiT is a scalable platform. And as the amount of metadata being stored grows, and new functionalities are developed, it will allow to know relevant data about this literary corpus.</p> <p>In this first stage, the archive has been partially fed by the compilations of Mark Sanders, Paulette Ramsay, Antonio D Tillis, Keenan Norris, Idelfonso Pereda Valdés and Emilio Vallagas. But the archive is open for users and beneficiaries of the platform to <a href="/add">add new content</a>.</p> <p>If you have a work or translation in mind that is not part of this archive, please <a href="/add">suggest its incorporation</a>!</p>
