Raising Your Kids Right

Children's Literature and American Political Conservatism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Highlighting the works of William Bennett, Lynne Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, and others, this brings together such diverse fields as cultural studies, literary criticism, political science, childhood studies, brand marketing, and the cult of celebrity to dispel lingering societal attitudes that narratives for young readers are unworthy of serious political study. It examines a variety of texts that offer information, ideology, and even instructions on how to raise kids right, not just figuratively but politically.
