Books in the Children and Youth in Popular Culture series

This book analyzes the use of animal imagery in children's literature produced by British writers. It encapsulates the agenda of consciously training British children through underscoring resources and fauna in India pursued by the British society in the nineteenth century Victorian England.

This book offers case studies analyzing a full array of genres in children's literature, from picture books to young adult novels. This volume's contributions interrogate how children's literature is a powerful yet under examined space of rhetorical discourse that influences one of the most impressionable segments of our population.

This edited volume performs a critical analysis of the Americas Award, issues related to the content of the award-winning and honored books, and the contexts in which the books are used. It includes chapters by key scholars in the areas of youth literature in English, English Education, Library and Information Science, and Ethnic Studies.
