Abstract:This essay explores how Camino a Casa, written by Jairo Buitrago and illustrated by Rafael Yockteng, resists the violence (widespread during the Colombian internal conflict since 1948) and the practice of forced disappearance. The picture book serves as a counter-speech to the animalization of the people considered enemies, and the story fights against the creation of the “sinister imagination” (constantly imagining the unspeakable horror that a ‘disappeared’ person might have endured). The illustrations bond emotionally with the readers and transmit hope. Ultimately, the story can connect with a mature audience left unable to deal with emotions caused by trauma.
摘要:本文探讨了Jairo Buitrago撰写、Rafael Yockteng插图的《家之路》(Camino a Casa)如何抵制暴力(自1948年以来哥伦比亚内部冲突期间普遍存在)和强迫失踪的做法。这本图画书是对那些被认为是敌人的人的动物化的一种反驳，这个故事与“邪恶想象”的产生作斗争(不断想象一个“消失”的人可能经历的难以形容的恐怖)。这些插图在情感上与读者联系在一起，传递着希望。最终，这个故事可以与无法处理创伤造成的情绪的成熟观众联系起来。

Abstract:While often celebrated as a space for diverse representation and engagement, fanfiction, including fanfiction based on children’s and young adult narrative, is not necessarily progressive and tends to reflect the representational politics of mainstream media and publishing. Fanfiction generally favors and develops around high-profile book and media franchises and repeats as much as challenges their ideological tendencies. Meanwhile, fan material about lesser-known titles remains largely unstudied despite a wealth of data on fanfiction sites and platforms such as Archive of Our Own (AO3) and Fanfiction.net. This article argues that fanfiction studies, like children’s literature studies and children’s literature itself, needs to become more diverse in its topics, its methods, and its ethical commitments. It recommends structural and comparative approaches to children’s literature-based fanfiction, including the study of its dynamics of canonization and circulation, which both resemble and diverge from those of source texts or “canon.” One model discussed is Emer O’Sullivan’s Comparative Children’s Literature, which might be adapted to comparative fanfiction work. The article also attends to the various feedback loops between canon and its fanfiction, underscoring, for instance, how some fanfiction has been legitimized as literature even as some novels about fanfiction have inspired fanfiction, in turn.
摘要：粉丝小说，包括基于儿童和年轻人叙事的粉丝小说，虽然经常被誉为一个多样化表现和参与的空间，但并不一定是进步的，往往反映主流媒体和出版的代表性政治。粉丝小说通常倾向于并围绕着备受瞩目的图书和媒体特许经营权发展，并重复和挑战他们的意识形态倾向。与此同时，尽管粉丝小说网站和平台（如Archive of Our Own（AO3）和fanfiction.net）上有大量数据，但关于鲜为人知的作品的粉丝材料基本上仍未得到研究。本文认为，粉丝小说研究，如儿童文学研究和儿童文学本身，需要在主题、方法和道德承诺方面变得更加多样化。它建议对基于儿童文学的粉丝小说采取结构性和比较性的方法，包括研究其经典化和流通的动态，这与源文本或“经典”既相似又不同。讨论的一个模型是Emer O'Sullivan的《比较儿童文学》，该模型可能适用于比较粉丝小说作品。这篇文章还关注了正典及其粉丝小说之间的各种反馈循环，例如，强调了一些粉丝小说是如何被合法化为文学的，尽管一些关于粉丝小说的小说反过来也激发了粉丝小说的灵感。

Book Reviews areas or because the intended authors themselves dropped out of the project. As many of their countries did not approve of LGBTQ+ relationships, several intended authors decided that “there would be little that they could comfortably and safely write about” (4). The anonymous author who discusses the state of LGBTQ+ literature in the Arab-speaking world summarizes the difficulty, writing that “children’s books tend to reflect the lifestyles in the societies in which they are written, edited and published, and as long as these topics are not discussed, they will not be included in children’s books” (182). This collection therefore also serves as a stark reminder not only of the lengths that LGBTQ+ children’s literature has already moved forward, but also the very long way it still has to go. As an introductory overview, International LGBTQ+ Literature for Children and Young Adults brings together a diverse array of voices, perspectives, and writings to the field of LGBTQ+ children’s literature and provides a much-needed snapshot of the state of LGBTQ+ children’s literature around the globe. Hopefully, this will only be the first of many more works to address this topic.

Abstract:In this essay, I explore how young African American poets shaped visions of and possibilities for Black liberation by focusing primarily on the invocation of freedom crafted by one young poet, Lillian Myricks, whose poem "Freedom" was entered in a poetry contest sponsored by poet Gwendolyn Brooks in the early 1960s. Along with discussion of Brooks's advocacy for young poets, I read Myricks's poem alongside a poem by Wanda McGee, also from the early 1960s, in an effort to center the agency and authorship of these young Black poets for their contributions to crafting a poetics of freedom.

Abstract:This article analyzes interviews of youth poets from the Tucson Youth Poetry Slam (TYPS) during a time of regressive legislation in Arizona. Two overarching themes emerged: slam as a gateway to growth and leadership and slam as a declaration and examination of self. These themes demonstrate how youth slam poets both accepted and disrupted linear narratives about youth development. The author also analyzes excerpts from a TYPS poem by a DREAMer that demonstrate slam's rhetorical flexibility in the interest of coalition and community justice. The theoretical frameworks offered here encourage more nuanced examinations of texts created and performed by youth.

Book Reviews online spaces (such as #disabilitytwitter). The web’s capacity to contain multitudes means there has been a marked increase in the visibility of the disabled community, and more significantly, an expansive space to nurture relationships, debate issues, share stories, and form powerful and participatory alliances within and across marginalized communities. In her concluding chapter, Meyer reflects on Gubar’s “kinship model,” remarking that just as children’s literature prompts a deeper understanding and respect for children, the same should be true for the disabled community. Her preceding chapters have done well to provide context and support for this call to action. That said, some readers might find elements of Meyer’s arguments to be far-reaching, especially the means by which she conflates adolescence—and the range of emotions that are typically associated with this period—with mental illness. Additionally, as she draws from an impressive range of source material for each chapter, her discussion is sometimes circuitous, particularly when trying to incorporate examples of myriad modes and platforms in chapter 6. At other times, there are instances when the depth of her analysis appears uneven, with less detail and discussion given to those texts she views most critically. However, the depth and significance of her project should not be understated, nor should the insight brought to light through her analytical work. Ultimately, From Wallflowers to Bulletproof Families successfully achieves Meyer’s goal of substantiating the field of young adult literature as a site for productive interrogation and discourse, with the potential to promote radical change.
