Urban Book Publishers Focus Is Books About The Lives And Needs Of Inner City People

by Chloe Gib

Urban book publishers concentrate on the type of setting and lifestyle associated with Urban American Communities. Although emphasis is on African American communities, it can be all different kinds of cultures in this same setting. There is a certain pride that we can all relate to that stems from where we come from, and that pride is reflected and shared in these kinds of books. These books can appeal to all readers, African American or otherwise.

Within the inner cities of America is a web of cultures all surviving in the same hood. Because they share this common bond of location it binds them together in a way that touches everyone. Urban fiction writers recognize this growing niche and are rising to the occasion with new manuscripts that have similar settings and tone but original story lines for the Urban Publishers.

These types of books usually have a dark tone surrounding the story line. Profanity, sex, drugs and violence are often part of the theme. Because of the explicit nature of many of these books they are not recommended for kids and are adult only.

As an alternative there are Street Teen Fiction books for young adults that still keep the inner city tone but concentrate more on issues that teens face today. There is also a Street Christian Fiction category that can be a positive choice that offers up the spiritual side of living in the same inner city environment but has none of the offensive content.

This form of writing can be called many names including Street Lit, Street Fiction, and Hip Hop Lit. Whatever you call it, the history surrounding these books is rich. Hip Hop Lit evolved around the same time as Hip Hop music and many of the books are written by famous Hip Hop Artists.

Many a critic has complained about the violent, explicit content. Still, others say that these stories portray a side of Urban America that has long been put aside. They like that these stories are so real to life, and believe it is important to portray what is really going on in our inner cities today. Yet even more fans would not have ever picked up a book if not for this genre.

Urban book publishers are bringing to the forefront the needs of the African American and other cultural communities that have been long overlooked. It has had a profound impact on the publishing industry. A new audience for these books has and will continue to evolve as we move forward.
