In this provocative book, Christine Wilkie-Stibbs juxtaposes the narratives of literary and actual children\/young adults to explore how Western culture has imagined, defined, and dealt with their outsider status - whether orphaned, homeless, refugee, victims of abuse, or exploited - and how processes of economic, social, or political impoverishment are sustained and naturalized in regimes of power, authority, and domination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn five chapters titled: \"Outsider,\" \"Displaced,\" \"Erased,\" \"Abject,\" \"Unattached,\" and \"Colonized,\" the book situates and repositions a range of pre- and post-millennium children's\/young adult fictions, autobiographies, policy documents, and reports in the current climate of rabid globalization, new \"out-group\" definitions, and prescribed normativity. Children's\/young adult fictions considered include: Malorie Blackman's \u003cem\u003eNoughts and Crosses \u003c\/em\u003etrilogy; Mark Haddon's \u003cem\u003eThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; \u003c\/em\u003eJacqueline Wilson's \u003cem\u003eThe Illustrated Mum\u003c\/em\u003e; Shyam Selvadurai's \u003cem\u003eFunny Boy\u003c\/em\u003e; Ann Provoost's \u003cem\u003eFalling; \u003c\/em\u003eMeg Rosoff's, \u003cem\u003e How I Live Now\u003c\/em\u003e; Elizabeth Laird's \u003cem\u003eA Little Piece of Ground\u003c\/em\u003e.
