Or, perhaps Indian in the Cupboard? What do you recall about the way that American Indians are presented in those or other favorite books from your childhood? In this course, we will examine the ways that Native Americans are represented in children's literature as we engage the following questions: What do classic and popular children's books tell us about American Indians? Similarly, what can we say about representations of race, gender, sexual orientation and class in Babar, Little Black Sambo, The Five Chinese Brothers, or Daddy's Roommate? Seeking answers to such questions requires that children's books be studied, not as isolated literary texts, but within the larger context of American society. Course readings will address the social and ideological functions of children's literature, literary and socio-political criticism of selected popular and classic children's books, and book reviews and essays about children's books by scholars, teachers, librarians, parents, and children.
