A narrative of Augusta Baker's early life and her work as a children's librarian within the New York Public Library system
[摘要] Augusta Braxston Baker (1911-1998) was a Black American librarian whose tenure within the New York Public Library (NYPL) system lasted for more than thirty years.This study seeks to shed light upon Baker’s educational trajectory, her career as a children’s librarian at NYPL's 135th Street Branch, her work with Black children’s literature, and her enduring legacy.Baker's narrative is constructed through the use of primary source materials, secondary source materials, and oral history interviews.The research questions which guide this study include: 1) How did Baker use what Yosso described as "community cultural wealth" throughout her educational trajectory and time within the NYPL system? 2) Why was Baker’s bibliography on Black children’s books significant? and 3) What is her lasting legacy?This study uses historical research to elucidate how Baker successfully navigated within the predominantly White world of librarianship and established criteria for identifying non-stereotypical children’s literature about Blacks and Black experiences.
