A Bibliography of Work on Racial Narratives for Children

Abstract

Compiled by Marie Drews, Bibliography of Work on Racial Narratives for provides an overview of sources on racial narratives for children, including those found in literature, television, and in relation to toys. Emphasis in this list of works is on children's literature primarily because scholarship about this medium is most abundant. Works listed include discussions of contemporary children's literature, picture books, juvenile literature, and some young adult texts; while some books and articles offer pedagogical strategies, most provide critical inquiry into the ways that racial difference is portrayed in texts for children. Similarly, while some materials offer readings of historical children's literature, most consider how race and multiculturalism is approached in children's literature published in the last twenty years.
