The Outside Child, In and Out of the Book is situated at the
intersection between children's literature studies and childhood
studies. In this provocative book, Christine Wilkie-Stibbs
juxtaposes the narratives of literary and actual children/young
adults to explore how Western culture has imagined, defined, and
dealt with their outsider status - whether orphaned, homeless,
refugee, victims of abuse, or exploited - and how processes of
economic, social, or political impoverishment are sustained and
naturalized in regimes of power, authority, and domination. In five
chapters titled: "Outsider," "Displaced," "Erased," "Abject,"
"Unattached," and "Colonized," the book situates and repositions a
range of pre- and post-millennium children's/young adult fictions,
autobiographies, policy documents, and reports in the current
climate of rabid globalization, new "out-group" definitions, and
prescribed normativity. Children's/young adult fictions considered
include: Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses trilogy; Mark
Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time;
Jacqueline Wilson's The Illustrated Mum; Shyam Selvadurai's Funny
Boy; Ann Provoost's Falling; Meg Rosoff's, How I Live Now;
Elizabeth Laird's A Little Piece of Ground. Autobiographical works
include Zlata Filipovic's Zlata's Diary; Kevin Lewis's The Kid;
Latifa's My Forbidden Face; and Valerie Zenatti's When I Was a
Soldier.
