Caribbean Children's Literature, Volume 2: Critical Approaches delves into the rich tapestry of writings by authors from the Anglophone Caribbean and its diaspora, encompassing those who craft their words in English. This comprehensive volume explores the diverse linguistic regions, delving into the early children's literature of conquest, particularly focusing on the US colonization of Puerto Rico. It also examines the delicate boundary between children's and adult literature, shedding light on the complexities of historical fiction and the anticolonial impulses found in contemporary speculative fiction. Furthermore, the volume offers a comprehensive overview of the literature of disaster and recovery, which holds immense significance for readers residing in regions frequently ravaged by earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding.
Contributions by a diverse group of scholars, both international and regional, enrich this anthology and its companion volume. They offer in-depth explorations of picture books, middle-grade, and young adult stories, providing a comprehensive examination of the literary histories of both children's and young adult literature across different language regions. The volumes also explore the utilization (or lack thereof) of Caribbean literature in schools and its place in the realm of publishing. Collectively, the essays in these volumes expand our understanding of Caribbean literature for young readers, fostering a deeper appreciation for the diverse voices and narratives that shape this vibrant literary landscape.
