Online text collections

E-books by PoC came up in the recs post from earlier this week and that made me want to do some surfing for online collections by writers of color. Here's what I found this evening.

Some of these contain book-length texts, others are shorter works like poetry, stories and interviews. (Was there going to be a sister comm for short works?)

South Asian Diaspora Literature and Arts Archive

African American Women Writers of the 19th Century

Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers Project, 1936-1938

Zora Neale Hurston Plays at the Library of Congress

Chiricahua and Mescalero Apache Texts. (These stories were collected by white anthropologists but as best I can tell, they were taking dictation from the Native American persons being interviewed - I hope that's okay.)
