In terms of location and content the book embraces a broad scope, including contributions related to the Asian-American diaspora, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. Individually and collectively, these essays broach crucial questions: What elements of Asian literature and film make them distinctive, both within their own specific culture and within the broader Asian area? What aspects link them to these genres in other parts of the world? How have they represented and shaped the societies and cultures they inhabit? What moral codes do they address, underpin, or contest? The volume provides further voice to the increasingly diverse and fascinating output of the region and emphasises the importance of Asian art forms as depictions of specific cultures but also of their connection to broader themes in children’s texts, and scholarship within this field.Asia-Pacific and Literature in English,2524-7638Children's literatureEthnology—AsiaChildhoodAdolescenceChildren's Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/823000Asian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Childhood, Adolescence and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22090Children's literature.Ethnology—Asia.Childhood.Adolescence.Children's Literature.Asian Culture.Childhood, Adolescence and Society.808.899282Wilson Bernardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGabriel Sharmani Patriciaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910733726903321Asian Children’s Literature and Film in a Global Age3397684UNINA
