Extending the discussion of critical content analysis to the visual
realm of picturebooks and graphic novels, this book provides a
clear research methodology for understanding and analyzing visual
imagery. Offering strategies for "reading" illustrations in global
and multicultural literature, chapter authors explore and bring
together critical theory and social semiotics while demonstrating
how visual analysis can be used to uncover and analyze power,
ideologies, inequity, and resistance in picturebooks and graphic
novels. This volume covers a diverse range of texts and types of
books and offers tools and procedures for interpreting visual
images to enhance the understandings of researchers, teachers, and
students as they engage with the visual culture that fills our
world. These methods are significant not only to becoming a
critical reader of literature but to also becoming a critical
reader of visual images in everyday life.
