Subject: Re: Postcolonial Children's texts and Intertextuality/Allusion


While this is an oldish thread I though I would share a very current work
under taken by a group of women (including myself) both FN/Native American
and non-native who met in virtual space and found a need to carve out a
space through a critical review of a children's book which uses the names
of children from the headstones of Carlisle Indian School to manufacture a
colonial fiction....today... 1999......the book is currently on the
shelves, a Scholastic publication and up for a literary award.....where is
the "post "when internal colonization continues in increasingly insidious
ways???
(Terry this might be of special interest to you in the light of Canadian
revelations about residential schools......)
the review may be found at:
