{"product_id":"outside-child-in-and-out-of-the-book","title":"Outside Child, In and Out of the Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Outside Child, In and Out of the Bookis situated at the intersection between children’s literature studies and childhood studies. 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 children’s\/young adult fictions, autobiographies, policy documents, and reports in the current climate of rabid globalization, new \"out-group\" definitions, and prescribed normativity. Children’s\/young adult fictions considered include: Malorie Blackman’s Noughts and Crosses trilogy; Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; Jacqueline Wilson’s The Illustrated Mum; Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy; Ann Provoost’s Falling; Meg Rosoff’s, How I Live Now; Elizabeth Laird’s A Little Piece of Ground. Autobiographical works include Zlata Filipovic’s Zlata’s Diary; Kevin Lewis’s The Kid;Latifa’s My Forbidden Face;and Valérie Zenatti’s When I Was a Soldier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556284100846,"sku":"9780415978002","price":244.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415978002.jpg?v=1703543677","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/outside-child-in-and-out-of-the-book","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
