Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Canadian Multicultural Mosaic has long been recognized as an if not the outstanding characteristic of the Canadian nation at home and abroad. It has, further, come to be regarded as a model worldwide of a wellfunctioning culturally diverse society. This first booklength study of Canadian multicultural childrens literature sets out to explore how literature for the young has contributed to the creation of the countrys multicultural discourse as well as to the construction of its national identity. In this context, childrens literature possesses particular significance, as juvenile literature by nature serves an educational purpose which extends to forming and informing the next generation of a countrys citizens. In order to achieve a deeper understanding of the complex structures at work, not only the fictional works themselves but also Canadas policy with regard to childrens culture and literature have been examined. In order to provide an optimally comprehensive picture, chapters include, among other aspects, information on public library services for immigrant children, on Canadian research collections specializing in childrens literature, on Canadian publishing for children, and on promotional activities. The works of fiction examined cover the period from 1950 to 1994 thus illustrating the development of the nations multicultural discourse and include various Canadian regions as well as protagonists belonging to different ethnic groups. While the approach is interdisciplinary, the novels discussed are above all read against the tenets of Canadian multiculturalism as manifested in such core documents as Prime Minister Trudeaus 1971 parliamentary declaration and the 1988 Canadian Multiculturalism Act. The chief objective of the present study is to understand the interdependence between ideology, childrens literature, and the creation of a national discourse.
