Brown Gold / Michelle H. Martin

Public ISBD Titre : Brown Gold : Milestones of African American Children's Picture Books, 1845-2002 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michelle H. Martin, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Children's Literature and Culture Importance : 229 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-64627-7 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : African,American,Children's  Picture,Books Résumé : Brown Gold is a compelling history and analysis of African-American children's picturebooks from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. At the turn of the nineteenth century, good children's books about black life were hard to find - if, indeed, young black readers and their parents could even gain entry into the bookstores and libraries. But today, in the "Golden Age" of African-American children's picturebooks, one can find a wealth of titles ranging from Happy to be Nappy to Black is Brown is Tan. In this book, Michelle Martin explores how the genre has evolved from problematic early works such as Epaminondas that were rooted in minstrelsy and stereotype, through the civil rights movement, and onward to contemporary celebrations of blackness. She demonstrates the cultural importance of contemporary favorites through keen historical analysis - scrutinizing the longevity and proliferation of the Coontown series and Ten Little Niggers books, for example - that makes clear how few picturebooks existed in which black children could see themselves and their people positively represented even up until the 1960s. Martin also explores how children's authors and illustrators have addressed major issues in black life and history including racism, the civil rights movement, black feminism, major historical figures, religion, and slavery. Brown Gold adds new depth to the reader's understanding of African-American literature and culture, and illuminates how the round, dynamic characters in these children's novels, novellas, and picturebooks can put a face on the past, a face with which many contemporary readers can identify.

Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature / Debra Mitts-Smith

Public ISBD Titre : Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Debra Mitts-Smith, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Children's Literature and Culture Importance : 218 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 centimetres (0.32 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-63666-7 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Wolf  Children  Literature. Résumé : From the villainous beast of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs," to the nurturing wolves of Romulus and Remus and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the wolf has long been a part of the landscape of children's literature. Meanwhile, since the 1960s and the popularization of scientific research on these animals, children's books have begun to feature more nuanced views. In Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature, Mitts-Smith analyzes visual images of the wolf in children's books published in Western Europe and North America from 1500 to the present. In particular, she considers how wolves are depicted in and across particular works, the values and attitudes that inform these depictions, and how the concept of the wolf has changed over time. What she discovers is that illustrations and photos in works for children impart social, cultural, and scientific information not only about wolves, but also about humans and human behavior. First encountered in childhood, picture books act as a training ground where the young learn both how to decode the "symbolic" wolf across various contexts and how to make sense of "real" wolves. Mitts-Smith studies sources including myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales, fractured tales, fictional stories, and nonfiction, highlighting those instances in which images play a major role, including illustrated anthologies, chapbooks, picture books, and informational books. This book will be of interest to children's literature scholars, as well as those interested in the figure of the wolf and how it has been informed over time.

Subjectivity in Asian Children's Literature and Film / John Stephens

Public ISBD Titre : Subjectivity in Asian Children's Literature and Film : Global Theories and Implications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Stephens, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Children's Literature and Culture Importance : 246 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.8 centimetres (0.46 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-80688-6 Note générale : Winner of the Children's Literature Association Honor Book Award This volume establishes a dialogue between East and West in children's literature scholarship. In all cultures, children's literature shows a concern to depict identity and individual development, so that character and theme pivot on questions of agency and the circumstances that frame an individual's decisions and capacities to make choices and act upon them. Such issues of selfhood fall under the heading subjectivity. Attention to the representation of subjectivity in literature enables us to consider how values are formed and changed, how emotions are cultivated, and how maturation is experienced. Because subjectivities emerge in social contexts, they vary from place to place. This book brings together essays by scholars from several Asian countries - Japan, India, Pakistan, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, and The Philippines - to address subjectivities in fiction and film within frameworks that include social change, multiculturalism, post-colonialism, globalization, and glocalization. Few scholars of western children's literature have a ready understanding of what subjectivity entails in children's literature and film from Asian countries, especially where Buddhist or Confucian thought remains influential. This volume will impact scholarship and pedagogy both within the countries represented and in countries with established traditions in teaching and research, offering a major contribution to the flow of ideas between different academic and educational cultures.
