Fictions of Integration

American Children's Literature and the Legacies of Brown V. Board of Education

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines how children's and YA literature addresses and interrogates the legacies of American school desegregation, narrating not only the famous battles to implement desegregation in the South, but also less visible legacies, such as re-segregation within schools through disability diagnosis. Via critical race theory, disability studies, and educational philosophy it investigates how the educational market both constrains how racism in schools can be presented to readers and also provides channels for radical critiques of pedagogy. It examines a range of novels and will be of interest to scholars of American studies, children's literature, and educational philosophy and history.
