Romance Fiction Has a History

Reel of The Day: Black Romance Has a History!

Today I broke down 50+ years of Black Romance history through ten books from my collection. It’s not comprehensive or anything- think of it as a research amuse bouche to whet your appetite!

For more, check out the chapter by Beverly Jenkins in one of my favorite books of the year, Black Love Matters. You can also check out my incomplete but more robust timeline of Black authors in romance (including non-Black romance) elsewhere on the blog.

Hello,

I’m Steve.

For more than a century, romance fiction has served as a mirror for societal ideas of gender, class, and race. I explore the stories behind the books to shed light on how authors, publishers, and editors shaped the genre.
