The Power List (Spring 2013 to Spring 2015)
The Power List collected data on books written or read by African Americans, compiling that information into a quarterly bestsellers list. A joint initiative by AALBC, Cushcity.com, MahoganyBooks, and MosaicBooks.com (no longer active). It ran for nine consecutive quarters, from Spring 2013 to Spring 2015.
The 183 distinct titles that made the Power List are presented here as a historical archive, sorted by popularity and then title. AALBC remains committed to celebrating bestselling books by or for readers of Black literature through our own AALBC Bestseller List, which has been published continuously since 1998. Additionally, we feature the BLK Bestseller List, which reflects the bestselling books by Black writers sold nationally.
