In her analysis of some of the most interesting and important childrens literature from Central America and the Caribbean, Ann Gonzlez uses postcolonial narrative theory to expose and decode what marginalized peoples say when they tell stories to their childrenand how the interpretations children give these stories today differ from the ways they have read them in the past. Gonzlez reads against the grain, deconstructing and critiquing dominant discourses to reveal consistent narrative patterns throughout the region that have helped children maneuver in a world dominated by powerful figuresfrom parents to agents of social control, political repression, and global takeover.Many of these stories are in some way lessons in resistance and survival in a world where the toughest kid on the block, often an outsider, demands that a group of children play or pay, on his terms. Gonzlez demonstrates that where traditional strategies have proposed the model of the trickster or the paradoxically astute fool, to mock the pretensions of the wouldbe oppressor, new trends indicate that the regions childrenand those who write for themshow increasing interest in playing the game on their own terms, getting to know the Other, embracing difference, and redefining their identity and role within the new global culture.Resistance and Survival emphasizes the hope underlying this contemporary childrens literature for a world in which all voices can be heard and valuedthe hope of an authentic happy ending.
