Presents a philosophical shift for teaching literature, constructing curriculum, and taking up issues of diversity and social justice.

Bringing a critical lens to the study of multiculturalism in children's literature, this book prepares teachers, teacher educators, and researchers of children's literature to analyze the ideological dimensions of reading and studying literature. It provides chapters that include recommendations for classroom application and classroom research.
