The figure of the wartime child in the mid-twentieth century
unsettles and disturbs. This book employs a range of material -
biographical, literary and historical - to chart some of the
surprising and unanticipated crossovers between women's writing and
early psychoanalysis in the years of the Second World War and the
decades before and after. This volume includes examples of
children's adventure fiction, as well as works written for adult
audiences and important and previously unrecognized similarities
are noted. The war was a disruptive influence in the lives of all
who lived through it. Although active self-censorship is observed
in the behaviour and attitudes of adults at this time, this book
demonstrates how fictional children are able to articulate feelings
such as anxiety and fear that adults were under pressure to conceal
or to repress and at times, the figure of the wartime child becomes
a surrogate for the writer herself or her suppressed fears and
anxiety. When peace returned, this study finds women writers quick
to identify and communicate a discomfiting new ambivalence between
parents and children.

From the award-winning author of Pushout, an inspiring graphic
novel about what can happen when Black girls are given the
opportunity to find their genuine power Monique Couvson's
trailblazing book Pushout laid the groundwork for understanding how
our schools are failing Black girls; her follow-up, Sing a Rhythm,
Dance a Blues, provided a blueprint for their healing and
liberation. Now Couvson invites readers to be inspired by her
liberatory imagination with an original narrative told from the
perspective of the very girls she has been fighting for years to
lift up. Charisma's Turn is a graphic novel that follows the
dynamic story of Charisma, a sixteen-year-old Black high school
student who is grappling with mounting pressures from home and
school. When frustrations with her family intersect with a conflict
at school, she reaches a crossroads, facing a choice that could
change her future. Featuring vibrantly illustrated art from Amanda
Jones and a foreword by poet, artist, and arts educator Susan Arauz
Barnes, this book will appeal to teens, parents, educators,
librarians, and more. Charisma's Turn exemplifies how Black girls
can be truly empowered to reach their full potential when they have
supportive educators and community members in their corner.
