It is a broad field that both shapes and is shaped by the mainstream culture in which it exists. This research paper lies within the subgenre of queer children’s literature whose audience is much younger than for whom most of the broader genre’s stories are written. There is still much debate about what should be shared about homosexuality with people in this age range. Queer children’s literature is therefore, still radical in many parts of North America.

  • And Tango Makes Three
    Perceptions of Self and the "Other": An Analysis of Challenges to And Tango Makes Three Marta L. Magnuson, doctoral candidate, School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Understanding what motivates people to challenge books and how community members react to these challenges can help librarians find better ways to work with challengers to come to equitable solutions. This study focused on the motives behind challenges to the acclaimed children’s book And Tango Makes Three and the reasoning given by those who opposed these challenges. Qualitative content analysis was done on newspaper and library journal articles that discussed challenges to the book. Analysis revealed five major themes: third-person effect, parental rights, scarcity, First Amendment rights, and diversity. Introduction The purpose of this study was to better understand the motives for and arguments against book challenges. Between 2001 and 2010 the American Library Association’s (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom (OIF) recorded 4,659 book challenges (ALA 2011a). A great many of these challenges occur at schools and libraries. By studying the discourse of a community during book challenges, librarians can better understand what motivates people to challenge books and find effective ways to work with challengers to achieve acceptable solutions. This study focused on the motives behind challenges to the acclaimed children’s book And Tango Makes Three and the reasoning given by those in the community who opposed these challenges. Literature Review Because motives for censorship have been studied across disciplines, censorship attitudes have been defined and researched in various ways. Past studies have viewed censorship attitudes from both an individual level as well as part of the larger construct of political tolerance (Lambe 2002).

  • “They're Trying to Trick Us!”: Making Sense of Anti-Oppressive Children's Literature in the Elementary School Classroom
    Running head: ANTI-OPPRESSIVE CHILDREN’S LITERATURE “They’re trying to trick us!”: Making sense of anti-oppressive children’s literature in the elementary school classroom Kate Paterson, B.A. Social Justice and Equity Studies Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Social Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines Ontario © 2015 ANTI-OPPRESSIVE CHILDREN’S LITERATURE ii Abstract This study examines how children make sense of “anti-oppressive” children’s literature in the classroom, specifically, books that integrate and promote positive portrayals of gender non-conformity and sexual diversity. Through a feminist poststructural lens, I conducted ethnographic observations and reading groups with twenty students in a grade one/two classroom to explore how children engage with these storybooks. I further explored how the use of these books in the classroom might help to mediate and negotiate existing gendered and heteronormative beliefs and practices within educational settings. The books used in this study challenge oppressive gender and sexuality regimes within mainstream children’s literature that have traditionally served to marginalize and silence gender non-conforming and LGBTQ individuals. Responses from participants in this study aid in questioning how dominant discourses of gender and sexuality are produced and reinforced, as well as where we may find opportunities for change and reform within the elementary school classroom. ANTI-OPPRESSIVE CHILDREN’S LITERATURE iii Acknowledgments It goes without saying that I would not be where I am today without the unconditional love and support of my parents, John and Kathy Paterson. The past two years have been a whirlwind of change, (at times) sheer panic, and overwhelming achievement.

Through the examination of queer children’s texts and adult reactions to children’s narratives that go outside of normative social values, this paper will investigate the contradictions between queer children’s literature and the heteronormative theme of “protecting
