The (In)Visibilization of Urban San Diego
Inspired by the need to more adequately represent their students’ (and their own) spatial existences, the authors engage in a comparative critical content analysis of “brochure”-like San Diego stories and picture books that center the lives and experiences of San Diego communities of color to determine whose lives are celebrated, and why/how, in children's literature set in this popular Southern California city. We argue that picture books that c…
Banning Spanish-Inclusive Picturebooks
Current book bans are operating in direct opposition to research that has, for about a century, supported the value of diverse children’s literature in PreK-12 classroom spaces—and serving as conduits to the irreparable harm inflicted upon young people of color. While the anti-Critical Race Theory, anti-Black, and anti-LGBTQ + rhetorics of book-ban policies have been highly publicized, less emphasis has been placed on the growing number of Latiné…

Body Knowledge, Reproductive Anxiety, and "Paying the Rent" in Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild
In this article, we read Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" as a "paying the rent" story in which reproduction functions as the source of payment made by the Terrans to the Tlic. We use Jenkins's distinctions between "hierarchical body knowledge" and "intelligent body knowledge," which derive from Butler's conception of "body knowledge," to argue that the Tlic's reproduction anxiety results from a legacy of "hierarchical body knowledge" that persis…
Black Youth Poetry of 2020 and Reimagined Literacies
In response to anti-Black policing in 2020 that led to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Black children and teens turned to poetry as a means to channel their self-described terror, rage, pain, horror, tiredness, and need for change. Reminiscent of the poetry of the Black Arts Movement and works published in The Black Panther newspaper, these poems, many of which call for a “revolution,” are reflective of young people’s critical enga…
Humanizing the Journey Across the Mexico–U.S. Border
Depicting Hate
Background/Context Since the 2016 presidential election, hate-based speech, crime, and violence have been on the rise in the United States, (re)creating a need for adults to engage children in dialogue related to white supremacy as it exists today, instead of framing it as a problem that ended with the civil rights movement. Following an incident of racist vandalism at her home, the author of this article (a White mother) conducted a search for p…
Texts as Mirrors, Texts as Windows
Discussions of culturally relevant and “boy” literature stress the importance of offering readers occasions to see themselves in texts. However, young men of color have had few opportunities within this discourse to reveal their own experiences with literature. Rather than make presumptions about how texts serve as mirrors to them, as members of collective groups, this study examines the ways in which two adolescent Black boys at an urban single‐…
