"The successful culmination of Bickmore and Clark's ambitious three-volume series, More Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Doors brings readers up to date with readable, incisive analysis of some of today's best African American YA authors. This book is an essential addition to any YAL scholar's library." --Chris Crowe, professor of English at Brigham Young University and author of Death Coming Up the Hill
"More Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Doors is another important volume in a groundbreaking series that helps preserve the history of Black American young adult literature. The monograph features some of the most engaging voices in Black American young adult literature coupled with innovative pedagogical approaches. The book will introduce to some, and confirm and affirm for others, Black experiences and perspectives grounded in love, agency, wisdom, and power. This book is more vital today than ever!" --KaaVonia Hinton, Old Dominion University, co-editor, Racial Dimensions of Life Writing
