Once Upon a Time in a Different World, a unique addition to the
celebrated Children's Literature and Culture series, seeks to move
discussions and treatments of ideas in African America Children's
literature from the margins to the forefront of literary discourse.
Looking at a variety of topics, including the moralities of
heterosexism, the veneration of literacy, and the "politics of
hair," Neal A. Lester provides a scholarly and accessible
compilation of essays that will serve as an invaluable resource for
parents, students, and educators. The much-needed reexamination of
African American children's texts follows an engaging
call-and-response format, allowing for a lively and illuminating
discussion between its primary author and a diverse group of
contributors; including educators, scholars, students, parents, and
critics. In addition to these distinct dialogues, the book features
an enlightening generational conversation between Lester and his
teenage daughter as they review the same novels. With critical
assessments of Toni and Slade Morrison's The Big Box and The Book
of Mean People, bell hooks' Happy to Be Nappy, and Anne Schraff's
Until We Meet Again, among many other works, these provocative and
fresh essays yield a wealth of perspectives on the intersections of
identity formations in childhood and adulthood.
