Abstract

Voices of resistance: Interdisciplinary approaches to Chican@ children's literature gathers a wide range of experts from diverse academic fields in the analysis of Chicanx children’s and young adult (YA) literature.  The editors convincingly make the case for the urgency of using multicultural children’s literature as a means for empowerment and social justice. The book provides a solid framework that is useful to multiple audiences–from caregivers, teachers, school leaders, community members, to teacher educators, and beyond. The book highlights the Chicanx history of resistance, as indicated in its title, situated in the various US socio-political contexts that have negatively impacted people of color since the country’s formation. The book reminds us of the important role that literature has on the lives of children; and its potential to either affirm an asset-based perspective connected to their lives, cultural identities, gender constructions, and home language practices of Chicanx children and youth, or to perpetuate harmful deficit views. Furthermore, the book reminds us that powerful children’s and YA literature can help raise Chicanx children’s consciousness, even from a young age, towards sustaining self-love in the uplifting of Chicanx identity, culture, and linguistic practices. (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018)

反抗之声
《抵抗之声:Chicanx儿童文学的跨学科研究》汇集了来自不同学术领域的专家,对Chicanx儿童和青少年文学进行了分析。编辑们令人信服地说明了使用多元文化儿童文学作为赋权和社会正义手段的紧迫性。这本书提供了一个坚实的框架,是有用的多种观众,从照顾者,教师,学校领导,社区成员,教师教育工作者,以及超越。正如书名所示,这本书强调了墨西哥裔美国人的抵抗历史,这段历史发生在美国自建国以来对有色人种产生负面影响的各种社会政治背景下。这本书提醒我们文学对儿童生活的重要作用;它有可能肯定一种与芝加哥儿童和青少年的生活、文化身份、性别结构和母语实践相关的基于资产的观点,或者使有害的赤字观点永久化。此外,这本书提醒我们,强大的儿童文学和青少年文学可以帮助提高墨西哥裔儿童的意识,甚至从很小的时候开始,在提升墨西哥裔身份、文化和语言实践的过程中保持自爱。(罗曼和利特菲尔德,2018)
