The all new essays in this book discuss Black cultural retellings
of traditional, European fairy tales. The representation of Black
protagonists in such tales helps to shape children's ideas about
themselves and the world beyond their limited experiences. Allowing
them to see themselves in traditional tales strengthens connections
with the world and can ignite a will to read books representing
diverse ethnic and cultural characters. Also discussed is the need
for a multicultural text set which includes the multiplicity of
cultures within the Black Diaspora. The tales referenced in the
text are rich and diverse in perspective, illuminating stories such
as Aesop's fables, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Ananse. Readers will
see that stories from Black perspectives adhere to the dictates of
traditional literary conventions while steeped in literary
traditions that can be traced back to Africa or the diaspora.
