- This monograph constitutes a rigorous and sustained investigation into revealing, organising and analysing a large body of different manifestations of postcolonial writing for the young. In order to illuminate the impact of writers who answer a demand for new narrative forms that would reflect changing social attitudes to the make-up of contemporary ethnic identities, the study situates contemporary children’s literature in the context of the major cultural debates of the 1990s and 2000s. In its demonstration of the centrality of the colonial past to contemporary children’s texts, its completion depended upon an extended period of data collection and critical analysis.
