Stories about slavery for children have served as primers for racial socialization. This first comprehensive study of slavery in children's literature, Slavery in American Children's Literature, 1790-2010, also historicizes the ways generations of authors have drawn upon antebellum literature in their own re-creations of slavery.Slavery in literatureAmerican literatureHistory and criticismSlavery in literature.American literatureHistory and criticism.810.9/3552Connolly Paula T1679052MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811074103321Slavery in American children's literature, 1790-20104047062UNINA
