Children's texts are highly responsive to social change and to
global politics, and are implicated in shaping the values of
children and young people. "New World Orders," now in paperback for
the first time, shows how texts for children and young people have
responded to the cultural, economic and political movements of the
last fifteen years. With a focus on international children's texts
produced between 1988 and 2006, the authors discuss how utopian and
dystopian tropes are pressed into service to project possible
futures to child readers. The book considers what these texts have
to say about globalization, neocolonialism, environmental issues,
pressures on families and communities, and the idea of the
posthuman. This fascinating volume is the first thorough study of
how children's books imagine and propose possible worlds and
societies.
