Narrative Resistance and Identity Reconstruction
This paper discusses how African children’s literature plays a significant role as a crucial site of decolonial praxis. It addresses a persistent research gap in scholarship that privileges adult postcolonial texts. The paper argues that African-authored children’s books reclaim narrative agency, contest Eurocentric stereotypes, and foster identity formation and empowerment. To concretize the discussion, the paper focuses on two Anglophone exampl…
Dubliners
The city's image acquired special prominence in many literary works related to modernist literature. In these works, the writers used the city details simultaneously to serve as symbols and references to the themes and issues that can appear in the works. This fact is especially actual in the case of James Joyce's Dublin - the permanent setting of most works by this great Irish modernist. It is worth noting that Joyce took the steps forward to di…
Children’s Literature
It is worth noting that children’s literature is one of the rapidly growing fields in the literature on one hand, but on the other hand, it is also the most argumentative area of study among critics and all interested persons. The debatable feature of this literary genre underlies the broad scope of the literary texts that can include under its umbrella; fairy tales, short stories, novels, poems, and picture books. Additionally, these books’ comm…

Undoubtedly, Little Women can be considered one of the most influential literary texts in the history of American literature in general and children’s books specifically. This novel has many essential lessons and messages that may affect the development path of any girl. Louisa May Alcott cleverly presents different female characters to shed light on the issues and obstacles women faced during the 19th century in American society. The critics var…

These memories make these tales enjoyable for children and adults, as all adults consider reading these books a part of the nostalgia for these past peaceful and cheerful days. On the other hand, many studies proved th…
The Asian Americans’ Identity Crisis as Reflected in Day Standing on Its Head
Philip Kan Gotanda's heritage is professionally woven into nearly all of his work. The combination of family memories and theatrical inventions makes him the faithful chronicler of the Asian American experience. The past visibly invades the present in most of his works and characters, while he interweaves a distinctly theatrical magic charm around them, producing a crystal clear picture of Asian American life. His plays feature arguments between …
The Wash
The Wash is considered the third part of Philip Kan Gotanda’s family trilogy alongside with A Song for a Nisei Fisherman and Fish Head Soup. This series represents his sincere attempt to discover and truly depict the Japanese American family, as well as to delve deeper and deeper into it. The idea of the play is mainly driven from two real-life stories. The first is about a friend whose elderly nisei mother has left her father and begins a new re…
