This book offers a variety of approaches to children's literature
from a postcolonial perspective that includes discussions of
cultural appropriation, race theory, pedagogy as a colonialist
activity, and multiculturalism. The eighteen essays divide into
three sections: Theory, Colonialism, Postcolonialism. The first
section sets the theoretical framework for postcolonial studies;
essays here deal with issues of "otherness" and cultural
difference, as well as the colonialist implications of pedagogic
practice. These essays confront our relationships with the child
and childhood as sites for the exertion of our authority and
control. Section 2 presents discussions of the colonialist mind-set
in children's and young adult texts from the turn of the century.
Here works by writers of animal stories in Canada, the U.S. and
Britain, works of early Australian colonialist literature, and
Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess come under the scrutiny
of our postmodern reading practices. Section 3 deals directly with
contemporary texts for children that manifest both a postcolonial
and a neo-colonial content. In this section, the longest in the
book, we have studies of children's literature from Canada,
Australia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States.
