Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, The Pilgrim's Progress. And Goody two-shoes had been Written; but save for these and a very few others, a child might have followed along the shelves Of many a library and found hardly a volume that would make him feel as if he could not help reading it.

Download or read book Was the Cat in the Hat Black written by Philip Nel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Was the Cat in the Hat Black? presents five serious critiques of the history and current state of children's literature tempestuous relationship with both implicit and explicit forms of racism. The book fearlessly 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 yet written with a lively, crackling touch, 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 short and stark proposal of actions everyone-reader, author, publisher, scholar, citizen- can take to fight the biases and prejudices that infect children's literature. While Was the Cat in the Hat Black? does not assume it has all the answers to such a deeply systemic problem, its audacity should stimulate discussion and activism.

Download or read book Old Time Stories Classic Reprint written by Charles Perrault and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Stories F the eleven tales which the present volume com prises, the first eight are from the master - hand of Charles Perrault. Charles Perrault (1628-1703) enjoyed much distinction in his day, and is familiar to students of French literature for the prominent part that he played in the famous Quarrel of the Ancients and Modems, which so keenly occupied French men of letters in the latter part of the seventeenth century. But his fame to-day rests upon his authorship of the traditional Tales of Mother Goose or Stories of Olden Times, and so long as there are children to listen spellbound to the adventures of Cinder ella, Red Riding Hood, and that arch rogue Puss in Boots, his memory will endure.
