Was the Cat in the Hat black? : the hidden racism of children's literature, and the need for diverse books / by Nel, Philip,1969-;

Introduction: Race, racism, and the cultures of childhood -- The strange career of The Cat in the Hat; or, Dr. Seuss's racial imagination -- How to read uncomfortably: Racism, affect, and classic children's books -- Whiteness, nostalgia, and fantastic flying books: William Joyce's racial erasures vs. Hurricane Katrina -- Don't judge a book by its color: The destructive fantasy of whitewashing (and vice-versa) -- Childhoods "outside the boundaries of imagination": Genre is the new Jim Crow -- Conclusion: A manifesto for anti-racist children's literature.Racism is resilient, duplicitous, and endlessly adaptable, so it is no surprise that America is again in a period of civil rights activism. A significant reason racism endures is because it is structural: it's embedded in culture and in institutions. One of the places that racism hides -- and thus perhaps the best place to oppose it -- is books for young people. Philip Nel presents five serious critiques of the history and current state of children's literature tempestuous relationship with both implicit and explicit forms of racism. Nel examines topics both vivid -- such as The Cat in the Hat's roots in blackface minstrelsy -- and more opaque, like how the children's book industry can perpetuate structural racism via whitewashed covers even while making efforts to increase diversity. Rooted in research, Nel delves into years of literary criticism and recent sociological data in order to show a better way forward. Though much of what is proposed here could be endlessly argued, the knowledge that what we learn in childhood imparts both subtle and explicit lessons about whose lives matter is not debatable. The text concludes with a proposal of actions everyone -- reader, author, publisher, scholar, citizen -- can take to fight the biases and prejudices that infect children's literature.Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-262) and index.

Theodor Seuss Geisel / by Pease, Donald E.;

Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-166) and index.Dr. Seuss's passage home -- Becoming Dr. Seuss -- Dr. Seuss returns -- Dr. Seuss and Helen Geisel's empire -- Dr. Seuss's legacy.Dr. Seuss's infectious rhymes, his blue-tufted, strong-willed creatures, and his knack for pithy, roundabout plots have been entertaining children--and adults--for decades. And as biographer Donald Pease shows, the seemingly haphazard trajectory of Theodor Geisel's life bears a close resemblance to the zigzag plot lines of his children's books--by turns a cartoonist, ad agency artist (for Flit bug killer), author, caricaturist, documentary-film writer and producer, political cartoonist, and editor. Pease follows Geisel's life from his childhood in Massachusetts, to his sacking from the editorship of Dartmouth's humor magazine, to the publication of And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street--after 17 rejections--which finally launched him on the career for which he is best known. Given unprecedented access to Dartmouth's extensive Geisel holdings, Pease captures this life in full as he offers fresh insights into the sources of Geisel's creativity, from his surreal images to his anti-authoritarian stance and slapstick humor.--From publisher description.

Children's literature : a reader's history, from Aesop to Harry Potter / by Lerer, Seth,1955-;

Includes bibliographical references (p. 337-375) and index.Introduction : Toward a new history of children's literature -- Speak, child : children's literature in classical antiquity -- Ingenuity and authority : Aesop's fables and their afterlives -- Court, commerce, and cloister : the literatures of medieval childhood -- From alphabet to elegy : the Puritan impact on children's literature -- Playthings of the mind : John Locke and children's literature -- Canoes and cannibals : Robinson Crusoe and its legacies -- From islands to empires : storytelling for a boy's world -- On beyond Darwin : from Kingsley to Seuss -- Ill-tempered and queer : sense and nonsense, from Victorian to modern -- Straw into gold : fairy-tale philology -- Theaters of girlhood : domesticity, desire, and performance in female fiction -- Pan in the garden : the Edwardian turn in children's literature -- Good feeling : prizes, libraries, and the institutions of American children's literature -- Keeping things straight : style and the child -- Tap your pencil on the paper : children's literature in an ironic age -- Epilogue : Children's literature and the history of the book.Children's Literature charts the makings of the Western literary imagination from Aesop's fables to Mother Goose, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from Where the Wild Things Are to Harry Potter. Seth Lerer here explores the iconic books, ancient and contemporary alike, that have forged a lifelong love of literature in young readers during their formative years. Along the way, Lerer also looks at the changing environments of family life and human growth, schooling and scholarship, and publishing and politics in which children found themselves changed by the books they read. This ambitious work appraises a broad trajectory of influences--including Shakespeare's plays, John Locke's theories of education, Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and the Puritan tradition--which have each shaped children's literature through the ages as well.--From publisher description.

No kids allowed : Children's literature for adults / by Abate, Michelle Ann,1975-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Children's literature isn't just for children anymore. This original study explores the varied forms and roles of children's literature--when it's written for adults. What do Adam Mansbach's Go the F**k to Sleepand Barbara Park's MA! There's Nothing to Do Here!have in common? These large-format picture books are decidedly intended for parents rather than children. In No Kids Allowed, Michelle Ann Abate examines a constellation of books that form a paradoxical new genre: children's literature for adults. Distinguishing these books from YA and middle-grade fiction that appeals to adult readers, Abate argues that there is something unique about this phenomenon. Principally defined by its form and audience, children's literature, Abate demonstrates, engages with more than mere nostalgia when recast for grown-up readers. Abate examines how board books, coloring books, bedtime stories, and series detective fiction written and published specifically for adults question the boundaries of genre and challenge the assumption that adulthood and childhood are mutually exclusive.Description based on print version record.Electronic reproduction.
