[CASL-L] [External Email] Re: Cataloging and Race

[Leslie Redmond]

Excellent article. We are currently using “diversity- author, subject, or illustrator” as a subcategory and its’s pretty much anything not white, heterosexual, male. 
I have questions about call numbers for things like Underground Railroad ending up in Geography and books about Columbus being next to books about Native Americans. 
Larissa- thanks for sharing.

But, as I learn more about race, I realize that African American is not an accurate term for books about or featuring black people, because not all black people in the US are from the US originally. Thoughts on better subject terms?  "Blacks" "Black People"?
