Unsettling Narratives

Postcolonial Readings of Childrenas Literature

Beschreibung

Children's books seek to assist children to understand themselves and their world. This work demonstrates how settler-society texts position child readers as citizens of postcolonial nations, how they represent the colonial past to modern readers, what they propose about race relations, and how they conceptualise systems of power and government.
