Book Synopsis Neo-Imperialism in Children's Literature About Africa by : Yulisa Amadu Maddy
Book excerpt: In this book, the authors expose the neo-imperialist overtones of contemporary children's fiction about Africa. Examining the portrayal of African social customs, religious philosophies, and political structures in fiction for young people, Maddy and MacCann reveal the Western biases that often infuse stories by well-known Western authors.
