This book examines a critical period in British children's
publishing, from the earliest days of dedicated publishing firms
for Black British audiences to the beginnings of the Black Lives
Matter movement in the UK. Taking a historical approach that
includes education acts, Black protest, community publishing and
children's literature prizes, the study investigates the motivation
behind both independent and mainstream publishing firm decisions to
produce books for a specifically Black British audience. Beginning
with a consideration of early reading schemes that incorporated
Black and Asian characters, the book continues with a history of
one of the earliest presses to publish for children, Bogle
L'Ouverture. Other chapters look at the influence of
community-based and independent presses, the era of
multiculturalism and anti-racism, the effect of racially-motivated
violence on children's publishing, and the dubious benefit of
awards for Black British publishing. The volume will appeal to
children's literature scholars, librarians, teachers,
education-policy makers and Black British historians.
