Greater than the sum of its parts
The Black Studies Center offers seamless access to multi-faceted coverage. Take poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Schomburg Studies on the Black Experience alludes to her in its overview of Black women’s studies; the Chicago Defender offers her early poems, available nowhere else; and the International Index to Black Periodicals Full Text (IIBP-FT) rounds out the picture with journal articles about this important poet.

Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African-American to win a Pulitzer Prize. She was a protégé of Langston Hughes, who encouraged her writing from the time she was 16. Hughes published over 75 of Brooks’s poems in his Chicago Defender column, which to this day remains the only published source for these important early works. Hughes was also among the first to report on Brooks’s 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

The scholarly overview on Black Women’s Studies in Schomburg Studies on the Black Experience discusses Brooks as well. IIBP-FT includes articles that analyze her poetry and discuss her politics and life. You’ll also find an interview in which Brooks discusses Hughes’s influence on her, and also her reaction to winning the Pulitzer Prize.
