In this provocative book, Christine Wilkie-Stibbs juxtaposes the narratives of literary and actual children\/young adults to explore how Western culture has imagined, defined, and dealt with their outsider status - whether orphaned, homeless, refugee, victims of abuse, or exploited - and how processes of economic, social, or political impoverishment are sustained and naturalized in regimes of power, authority, and domination.In five chapters titled: \"Outsider,\" \"Displaced,\" \"Erased,\" \"Abject,\" \"Unattached,\" and \"Colonized,\" the book situates and repositions a range of pre- and post-millennium childrens\/young adult fictions, autobiographies, policy documents, and reports in the current climate of rabid globalization, new \"out-group\" definitions, and prescribed normativity. Childrens\/young adult fictions considered include: Malorie Blackmans Noughts and Crosses trilogy; Mark Haddons The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; Jacqueline Wilsons The Illustrated Mum; Shyam Selvadurais Funny Boy; Ann Provoosts Falling; Meg Rosoffs, How I Live Now; Elizabeth Lairds A Little Piece of Ground. Autobiographical works include Zlata Filipovics Zlatas Diary; Kevin Lewiss The Kid; Latifas My Forbidden Face; and Valérie Zenattis When I Was a Soldier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931260289312,"sku":"NEW0415978009","price":299.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-outside-child-in-and-out-of-the-book-childrens-literature-and-culture-0415978009","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
