Thirty books were evaluated to determine if the portrayal of African Americans in picture books was realistic and positive. The books reviewed were selected from the reference source A to Zoo. Many librarians use this title to recommend materials to children and parents. The books were published during the 1980s and 1990s. Results showed that overall the portrayal of African Americans is positive, realistic and excludes stereotypical images. The study found that African Americans are writing and illustrating books about the African American experience. Overall the sample showed the language used was realistic and there was not a difference in speech between the African American and white characters. The illustrations depicted the diversity of the African American culture in features, hairstyles and complexion. The characterization was positive, complex and the character's actions mirrored real life. The stories were universal; they could have been the experience of any child"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: An ethnographic content analysis was conducted to explore the African American cultural content contained in the text of picture books portraying African Americans published 2001 through 2005. The picture books were limited to beginning readers, stories in rhyme and poetry, historical fiction, fictional biography, and contemporary fiction portraying African Americans and set in the U.S. The books were categorized based on the genre to which they belong and classified as generic books or books with African American cultural content. The African American cultural content in the books in the study was compared to the cultural content contained in picture books in a survey conducted by Rudine Sims Bishop in 1982. Differences between the work of African Americans and non African Americans are discussed. A data collection instrument was constructed and used by several additional raters to test the reliability of the instrument. Each additional rater was given an operational definition for generic books and books with cultural content. The raters were each given one book to evaluate. The research revealed (1) that more than half of the picture books published during the period of this study were classified as generic, (2) in most cases, only the books written by African Americans contained cultural content and (3) more than half of the picture books with cultural content are classified as historical fiction. (4) Although it is possible for a non African American to write an authentic picture book with cultural content, such books are usually the result of in depth research. (5) During the period of this study, not all generic picture books were written by non African Americans; some African American authors choose to write generic books portraying African Americans with minimal content specific to African American culture.

Book excerpt: Extending the discussion of critical content analysis to the visual realm of picturebooks and graphic novels, this book provides a clear research methodology for understanding and analyzing visual imagery. Offering strategies for "reading" illustrations in global and multicultural literature, chapter authors explore and bring together critical theory and social semiotics while demonstrating how visual analysis can be used to uncover and analyze power, ideologies, inequity, and resistance in picturebooks and graphic novels. This volume covers a diverse range of texts and types of books and offers tools and procedures for interpreting visual images to enhance the understandings of researchers, teachers, and students as they engage with the visual culture that fills our world. These methods are significant not only to becoming a critical reader of literature but to also becoming a critical reader of visual images in everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To address the need for high-quality, culturally relevant diverse books and research critically analyzing nonfiction books, a three-phase content analysis examined the accessibility to and the cultural authenticity, accuracy, and relevance of award-winning children’s books. These nonfiction picture book biographies about contemporary/21st century African Americans were published from 2000-2016, contained within the Database of Award-Winning Children’s Literature, designated for elementary-age children, and in hardcover format. Grounded in multiple theories such as critical literacy, intersectionality, and cultural relevance and responsiveness, these theories addressed historical, political, social, and cultural aspects related to picture books. Key methodological features included two coder/analysts, coding matrices, open-ended response charts, intercoder collaborative discussion notes, reliability checks, and triangulation. The research revealed the following key findings: 1) few books received awards, and among the award-winners, few copies were found in urban libraries located in high poverty/African American population zip codes, 2) the presence of a significant amount of authentic African American cultural content appeared to be directly related to a book with a focal subject/main character identified as an African American and/or having an African American illustrator, 3) males dominated as illustrators and focal subjects/main characters, 4) as a group, the books provided an imbalance in the depiction of family structures, and 5) two award-winning books were found to be culturally authentic, accurate, and relevant. These findings are significant because they serve as evidence of the continued need for access to high-quality, relevant children’s books about African Americans that present a balanced African American experience.

Book excerpt: In this book the authors describe their strategies for critically reading global and multicultural literature and the range of procedures they use for critical analyses. They also reflect on how these research strategies can inform classrooms and children as readers. Critical content analysis offers researchers a methodology for examining representations of power and position in global and multicultural children’s and adolescent literature. This methodology highlights the critical as locating power in social practices by understanding, uncovering, and transforming conditions of inequity. Importantly, it also provides insights into specific global and multicultural books significant within classrooms as well as strategies that teachers can use to engage students in critical literacy.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children learn about their world through books used in the classroom. Research about the portrayal of African Americans in children's picture books is essential because picture books introduce some children to African American culture, and all children need to see characters like themselves in books. Since previous studies analyzed the characterizations of African Americans in children's picture books from 1900 through 1995, the significance and purpose of this study were to add to the literature by examining children's picture books from 1996 through 2005. The research questions were: (a)How are African Americans portrayed in the written texts of African American children's picture books awarded the Coretta Scott King Award or distinguished as Caldecott Medal honor books or Coretta Scott King honor books from 1996 through 2005? (b)How are African Americans portrayed in the illustrations of African American children's picture books awarded the Coretta Scott King Award or distinguished as Caldecott Medal honor books or Coretta Scott King honor books from 1996 through 2005? To be included in the sample of books, (a) each book had to be an African American children's picture book, (b) all characters or the protagonist had to be African American, and (c) each book had to be an award-winning book, which had been awarded the distinguished Coretta Scott King Author or Illustrator Award or noted as Caldecott Medal or Coretta Scott King Award honor books during the years 1996 through 2005. The sample consisted of 28 books. The instrumentation consisted of nine evaluation criteria which were used as categories. The data yielded documentation used to conclude that African Americans were portrayed positively in most of the African American children's picture books employed in the study that were awarded the Coretta Scott King Award or distinguished as Caldecott Medal or Coretta Scott King honor books from 1996 through 2005.

Book excerpt: Winner, Outstanding Book Award, Association for Theatre in Higher Education Winner, Grace Abbott Best Book Award, Society for the History of Children and Youth Winner, Book Award, Children's Literature Association Winner, Lois P. Rudnick Book Prize, New England American Studies Association Winner, IRSCL Award, International Research Society for Children's Literature Runner-Up, John Hope Franklin Publication Prize, American Studies Association Honorable Mention, Book Award, Society for the Study of American Women Writers Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series In Racial Innocence, Robin Bernstein argues that the concept of "childhood innocence" has been central to U.S. racial formation since the mid-nineteenth century. Children--white ones imbued with innocence, black ones excluded from it, and others of color erased by it--figured pivotally in sharply divergent racial agendas from slavery and abolition to antiblack violence and the early civil rights movement. Bernstein takes up a rich archive including books, toys, theatrical props, and domestic knickknacks which she analyzes as "scriptive things" that invite or prompt historically-located practices while allowing for resistance and social improvisation. Integrating performance studies with literary and visual analysis, Bernstein offers singular readings of theatrical productions from blackface minstrelsy to Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz literary works by Joel Chandler Harris, Harriet Wilson, and Frances Hodgson Burnett; material culture including Topsy pincushions, Uncle Tom and Little Eva handkerchiefs, and Raggedy Ann dolls; and visual texts ranging from fine portraiture to advertisements for lard substitute. Throughout, Bernstein shows how "innocence" gradually became the exclusive province of white children--until the Civil Rights Movement succeeded not only in legally desegregating public spaces, but in culturally desegregating the concept of childhood itself.
