The representation of black protagonists in such tales helps to shape children's ideas about themselves and the world beyond--which can ignite a will to read books representing diverse characters. The need for a multicultural text set which includes the multiplicity of cultures within the black diaspora is discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The tales referenced in the text are rich in perspective: they are Aesop's fables, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Ananse. Readers will see that stories from black perspectives adhere to the dictates of traditional literary conventions while still steeped in literary traditions traceable to Africa or the diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivian Yenika-Agbaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786471298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786471294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Vivian Yenika-Agbaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086858334463,"sku":"9780786471294","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebc85fbc-37c5-4ba2-864d-09c2b7127a10.jpg?v=1769096986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fairy-tales-with-a-black-vivian-yenika-agbaw-9780786471294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
