Talk:African American literature

African American literature also has strong ties to the literature of the African diaspora, with African American literature both being influenced by the African diasporic heritage and in turn influencing African diaspora writings.

This doesn't make sense. Slaves and their descendants writing in North America are part of the African diaspora, not "tie[d]" to it. Brian Sweeney 19:35, 27 November 2006 (CST)
