The banning of Mexican-American Studies and censorship of
Chican@-authored books in Arizona were part of a succession of
anti-Mexican and anti-Chican@ policies that were enacted across the
state and in the education system. The counterstories offered
through these classes and literature not only created a sense of
cultural inclusion, but ignited a political and activist
consciousness among the mostly Chican@ youth, and reinvigorated
conversations among educators about the teaching of race,
ethnicity, and culture in the classroom, particularly through youth
literature. While most work on youth literature has emphasized
"multicultural" literature as a means of being inclusive, Voices of
Resistance: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Chican@ Children's
Literature recognizes that our present moment--one that is rife
with continued anti-Mexican sentiment but that has given rise to
our first Chicano National Poet Laureate--demands a more focused
study of children's and young adult literature by and about
Chican@s. This collection re-examines how we view multicultural and
diversity literature and recognize literature that invites social
transformation. Using multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives to
critically examine a wide range of Chican@ children's pictures book
and young adult novels, this collection reaffirms Chicano@
children's literature as a means to achieve equity and social
change.
