Description

This book explores how the effects of a traumatic colonial experience are (re)presented to Latin American children today. By analyzing a variety of texts written, adapted, or marketed expressly for Spanish-speaking children, it examines how children's literature approaches the Spanish American colonial and postcolonial experience and communicates national and hemispheric perceptions of reality, identity, and values to the next generation. Engaging works that illustrate the issues of transculturation and postcolonial responses to it, Gonzalez analyzes how Latin American children's books represent an active form of political, social, and cultural resistance to long-term forms of colonialism.
