Brown Gold: Milestones of African American Children's Picture Books, 1845-2002 (Children's Literature and Culture #Vol. 30)
by Michelle MartinBrown Gold is a compelling history and analysis of African-American children's picturebooks from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. At the turn of the nineteenth century, good children's books about black life were hard to find — if, indeed, young black readers and their parents could even gain entry into the bookstores and libraries. But today, in the "Golden Age" of African-American children's picturebooks, one can find a wealth of titles ranging from Happy to be Nappy to Black is Brown is Tan. In this book, Michelle Martin explores how the genre has evolved from problematic early works such as Epaminondas that were rooted in minstrelsy and stereotype, through the civil rights movement, and onward to contemporary celebrations of blackness. She demonstrates the cultural importance of contemporary favorites through keen historical analysis — scrutinizing the longevity and proliferation of the Coontown series and Ten Little Niggers books, for example — that makes clear how few picturebooks existed in which black children could see themselves and their people positively represented even up until the 1960s. Martin also explores how children's authors and illustrators have addressed major issues in black life and history including racism, the civil rights movement, black feminism, major historical figures, religion, and slavery. Brown Gold adds new depth to the reader's understanding of African-American literature and culture, and illuminates how the round, dynamic characters in these children's novels, novellas, and picturebooks can put a face on the past, a face with which many contemporary readers can identify.

La Bruja Negra (Las Crónicas de la Bruja Negra #Volumen 1)
by Laurie ForestPrimera entrega de «Las Crónicas de la Bruja Negra», una serie de fantasía juvenil que condena los prejuicios y la injusticia y que ofrece una historia de amor en un entorno escolar a lo Harry Potter y un contexto político a lo Juego de Tronos. Bienvenidos a la Universidad Verpax. Carnissa Gardner, la última Bruja Negra, rechazó a las fuerzas enemigas y salvó a su pueblo durante la Guerra del Reino. Fue una de las más grandes magas Gardnerianas. Elloren Gardner, de 17 años, es la viva imagen de su famosa abuela, ahora ya muerta, aunque no tiene poderes mágicos, y eso no es bueno en una sociedad que premia las habilidades mágicas por encima de las demás. Después de la muerte de sus padres, Elloren y sus hermanos son criados por su tío en una aldea en el bosque. Elloren quiere ir a la Universidad Verpax para convertirse en boticaria, pero su intrigante tía política quiere que se case con Lukas Gray, un poderoso mago y aliado político de su tía. Elloren rechaza la propuesta de Lukas, y descubre que la influencia de su tía se extiende y hace que su vida en la universidad pueda estar llena de peligros. En la Universidad, Elloren conoce a todo tipo de criaturas diferentes, Icarals con alas, cambiaformas, Elfos y Selkies, y se acabará enamorando de Yvan, cuyo origen Keltish no puede encajar con una Gardneriana como ella. Elloren aprende a cuestionar la autoridad y la historia Gardneriana, mientras desarrolla una empatía real para con diferentes compañeros, haciéndose amiga de los más parias y outsiders, únicos dignos de confianza, mientras se empieza a cuestionar todo lo que sabe y creía saber sobre la historia y la cultura de Garnderia, percatándose de que existe una buena razón para la creciente oposición al nuevo gobierno de su país y para empezar a cuestionarse también aquello que creía amar y odiar.
