Demonstrating the aesthetic, cultural, political and intellectual
diversity of children's literature across the globe, The Routledge
Companion to International Children's Literature is the first
volume of its kind to focus on the undervisited regions of the
world. With particular focus on Asia, Africa and Latin America, the
collection raises awareness of children's literature and related
media as they exist in large regions of the world to which
'mainstream' European and North American scholarship pays very
little attention. Sections cover: * Concepts and theories *
Historical contexts and national identity * Cultural forms and
children's texts * Traditional story and adaptation * Picture books
across the majority world * Trends in children's and young adult
literatures. Exposition of the literary, cultural and historical
contexts in which children's literature is produced, together with
an exploration of intersections between these literatures and more
extensively researched areas, will enhance access and understanding
for a large range of international readers. The essays offer an
ideal introduction for those newly approaching literature for
children in specific areas, looking for new insights and
interdisciplinary perspectives, or interested in directions for
future scholarship.
