The volume addresses the four language regions, early children's literature of conquest--in particular, the US colonization of Puerto Rico--and the fine line between children's and adult literature. It explores multiple young adult genres, probing the nuances and difficulties of historical fiction and the anticolonial impulses of contemporary speculative fiction. Additionally, the volume offers an overview of the literature of disaster and recovery, significant for readers living in a region besieged by earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this anthology and its companion anthology, international and regional scholars provide coverage of both areas, offering in-depth explorations of picture books, middle-grade, and young adult stories. The volumes examine the literary histories of both children's and young adult literature according to language region, its use (or lack thereof) in schools, and its place in the field of publishing. Taken together, the essays expand our understanding of Caribbean literature for young people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betsy Nies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496844599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496844590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023 pg. 78","brand":"Betsy Nies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076497010943,"sku":"9781496844590","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8414213-9cc9-4888-ad2c-d52a49c91a0a.jpg?v=1685465319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caribbean-childrens-literature-volume-2-betsy-nies-9781496844590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
