Reading into racism bias in children's literature and learning materials

This book identifies some of the forms that racism takes in literature and learning materials and illustrates ways in which the school curriculum may be affected and childrenʹs minds may be conditioned. It records some of the current approaches to racist materials for children and some of the strategies for combat that have proved effective. It describes initiatives by parents and communities, by teachers and librarians, by publishers and those working in the media, that actively challenge biased materials and raise the consciousness of children and those who work with them. -- from Introduction.
