The Indian Subcontinent in Literature for Children and Young Adults: An Annotated Bibliography of English-Language Books
Product Description
This bibliography examines literature in English for young people concerning the Indian subcontinent and associated areas, including Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It presents the perspectives of authors native to the region as well as non-native authors, and reflects the rich folklore and traditional culture of the subcontinent, its checkered history, and modern challenges. An introductory essay traces the development of children’s literature in the region since 1947 and reviews major themes and trends in western children’s literature about the subcontinent. The many entries are organized into chapters by country, which are then subdivided by genre. Further access is afforded by indexes of authors, illustrators, titles, and subjects. Annotations provide plot summary, thematic analysis, and literary evaluation and also assess sensitivity to multicultural and international concerns.

Williams helps to fill a void by providing background information on the contributions of African-Americans to children’s and young adult literature.

Organized into four chapters, the book includes – descriptions of 250 books appropriate for children of pre-school to third grade; more than 350 descriptions of books considered appropriate for use by or with readers from grades five through eight; over 700 books which should inform and challenge readers at the senior high school level and above; and information about black illustrators and their works.
