Beschreibung:
Donnarae MacCann has been a children's librarian and a professor of children's literature. She coauthored The Child's First Books: A Critical Study of Pictures and Texts (H.W. Wilson, 1973) and is a doctoral candidate in American Studies at the University of Iowa. Gloria Woodard has been an elementary school teacher and is a librarian in Prince George's County, MD. Woodard and MacCann coauthored Cultural Conformity in Books for Children (Scarecrow 1977).
In the second edition of this highly-praised anthology, the authors have focused on those books with white supremacist content that have received special commendation and that can therefore be expected to have a major influence on children's educational environment. Among the contributors are Haki Madhubuti, Rudine Sims, Julius Lester, Eloise Greenfield, Walter Dean Myers, and Beryle Banfield.
