solidarity is a vital element of societal relationships that
ensures survival of humanity. It connects generations, fostering
transfer of common values, cumulative knowledge, experience, and
culture essential to human development. In the face of global
aging, changing family structures, family separations, economic
insecurity, and political trends pitting young and old against each
other, intergenerational solidarity is now, more than ever, a
pressing need. Intergenerational Solidarity in Children's
Literature and Film argues that productions for young audiences can
stimulate intellectual and emotional connections between
generations by representing intergenerational solidarity. For
example, one essayist focuses on Disney films, which have shown a
long-time commitment to variously highlighting, and then
conservatively healing, fissures between generations. However,
Disney-Pixar's Up and Coco instead portray intergenerational
alliances - young collaborating with old, the living working
alongside the dead - as necessary to achieving goals. The
collection also testifies to the cultural, social, and political
significance of children's culture in the development of
generational intelligence and empathy towards age-others and
positions the field of children's literature studies as a site of
intergenerational solidarity, opening possibilities for a new
socially consequential inquiry into the culture of childhood.
