DESCRIPTION:Representing the streets: Space and Place in Urban Literature S
 ince the late 1990s\, Street Literature\, also known as Urban Fiction or G
 hetto Lit\, has emerged a new type of African American popular fiction\, m
 ainly through self-publishing and street vending. Initiated by Omar Tyree 
 with his novel Flyy Girl in 1993\, Street Lit became prominent with the be
 stseller The Coldest Winter Ever written by the activist and author Sister
  Souljah in 1999. The realities of inner cities\, drugs and crime resonate
  for the authors and consumer of Street Literature in the places and space
 s of the novels. Although they may not be the place of all the readers\, t
 he specificity\, the tightness of the world reaches across cities. It is t
 he common marginalization\, the power of the streets that resonates in the
  imagined world these books portray and makes them important to recognize 
 and analyze.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
