Brown Gold: Milestones of African American Children's Picture Books, 1845-2002 - Paperback
Description
by Michelle Martin (Author)
Brown Gold is a compelling history and analysis of African-American children's picture books from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Martin shows how the genre has evolved from problematic early works such as Epaminondas that were rooted in minstrelsy and stereotype, through the civil rights movement, and onward to contemporary celebrations of blackness, exploring how children's authors and illustrators have addressed major issues in black life and history including racism, the civil rights movement, black feminism, major historical figures, religion, and slavery.
