BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF CRITICAL STUDIES
Race, culture and national identity

Reading is a social activity, and literature is a social expression. Therefore, both will reflect the social attitudes of their time and of the specific social group which engenders them. These titles look at how attitudes involving elements of race, culture and identity with a particular nation are represented in children's literature, as well as approaches that address the issues they raise.
