description DALA collects over 100 years of American and African American literature anthology data. Focusing on author inclusion, the data includes gender and race designations of authors and their inclusion in literary anthologies to chart the shifting literary canon over time. Originally constructed in Google Sheets, the data is reposited as .csv files at the Texas Data Repository and will be of use for scholars interested in author reputation, the canon, and gender and identity questions. The dataset allows researchers to track individual authors and editors as well as identity trends across all generalist American and African American literature anthologies.
