The Availability and Accessibility of Award-Winning Multicultural Children’S and Young Adult Literature in Public Libraries in Northeast Ohio THE AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF AWARD-WINNING MULTICULTURAL CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN NORTHEAST OHIO A dissertation submitted to the Kent State University College of Education, Health, and Human Services in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Terry Benton May 2015 © Copyright, 2015 by Terry Benton All Rights Reserved ii A dissertation written by Terry Benton B.S., Youngstown State University, 1999 M.A., Youngstown State University, 2001 Ph.D., Kent State University, 2015 Approved by ________________________, Director, Doctoral Dissertation Committee William P. Bintz ________________________, Member, Doctoral Dissertation Committee Lori G. Wilfong ________________________, Member, Doctoral Dissertation Committee Marianne Martens Accepted by ________________________, Director, School of Teaching, Learning and Alexa L. Sandmann Curriculum Studies ________________________, Dean, College of Education, Health and Human Services Daniel F. Mahony iii BENTON, TERRY, Ph.D., May 2015 Teaching, Learning and Curriculum Studies THE AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF AWARD-WINNING MULTICULTURAL CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN NORTHEAST OHIO (178 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William P. Bintz, Ph.D. The purpose of this study was to investigate the availability and accessibility of multicultural children’s and young adult literature as represented by winners of ethnic- specific youth literature awards in selected public libraries in Northeast Ohio. The researcher searched Online Public Access Catalogs for winners and honor books of the American Indian Youth Literature Award, Américas Award, Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, Carter G. Woodson Book Award, Coretta Scott King Book Awards, Pura Belpré Award, and Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children’s Book Award. The data were analyzed for the frequency of occurrence of each title in the holdings of 36 library systems and 172 central libraries, branches, and mobile units within those systems. The results show that only six of the 172 library outlets in the study had more than 50% of the 449 books in the study, while 148 outlets had fewer than 30% of the titles. The average number of books held by library outlets was 85.4 titles, or 19% of the books in the study. This information should be of interest to teachers, librarians, teacher and librarian educators and their students, and others who are interested in multicultural youth literature, as it calls attention to the current availability and accessibility of multicultural youth literature in public libraries, and advocates for all children in this increasingly diverse country to have access to books that reflect their own culture and ethnicity, and other cultures and ethnicities, as well. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation director, Dr. William Bintz, for his guidance and wisdom, and for being an inspiring teacher who encouraged me to accomplish my academic goals. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Marianne Martens and Dr. Lori Wilfong, for their support and patience, and for their valuable feedback throughout this process. I could not have begun this journey without the generous encouragement and support of Dr. Gary Salvner, and I could not have completed it without the generous encouragement and support of Dr. Milton Ruffin. I am deeply and sincerely grateful for both of them, as I literally could not have accomplished this monumental endeavor without them. I would also like to express my appreciation for Dr. Julia Gergits, Dr. Shearle Furnish, Dr. Jane Kestner, Dr. Ikram Khawaja, Dr. Teri Riley, and Dr. Martin Abraham for their support. Many thanks, also, to Dr. Rebecca Barnhouse, Dr. Steve Brown, Dr. Betty Greenway, Dr. Megan Isaac, Dr. Wendy Kasten, Dr. Anthony Manna, Dr. Hugh Thomas McCracken, Dr. Nancy McCracken, Dr. Virginia Monseau, Dr. Gail Okawa, Dr. Dolores Sisco, and Dr. Linda Strom. There are many others I would like to thank, including Ellen Banks, Melanie Loew, Sheila Maldonado, Cynthia Vigliotti, April Vosch, Rick and Gail Williams, the entire English Department at Youngstown State University, and the circulation department at Maag Library. And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank my family for their patience during this long process. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................... iv LIST OF FIGURES ......................................................................................................... vii LIST OF TABLES ...........................................................................................................viii CHAPTER I.

  • From African to African American: the Creolization of African Culture
    From African to African American: The Creolization of African Culture Melvin A. Obey Community Services So long So far away Is Africa Not even memories alive Save those that songs Beat back into the blood... Beat out of blood with words sad-sung In strange un-Negro tongue So long So far away Is Africa -Langston Hughes, Free in a White Society INTRODUCTION When I started working in HISD’s Community Services my first assignment was working with inner city students that came to us straight from TYC (Texas Youth Commission). Many of these young secondary students had committed serious crimes, but at that time they were not treated as adults in the courts. Teaching these young students was a rewarding and enriching experience. You really had to be up close and personal with these students when dealing with emotional problems that would arise each day. Problems of anguish, sadness, low self-esteem, disappointment, loneliness, and of not being wanted or loved, were always present. The teacher had to administer to all of these needs, and in so doing got to know and understand the students. Each personality had to be addressed individually. Many of these students came from one parent homes, where the parent had to work and the student went unsupervised most of the time. In many instances, students were the victims of circumstances beyond their control, the problems of their homes and communities spilled over into academics. The teachers have to do all they can to advise and console, without getting involved to the extent that they lose their effectiveness.

  • De/Colonizing Preservice Teacher Education: Theatre of the Academic Absurd
    Volume 10 Number 1 Spring 2014 Editor Stephanie Anne Shelton http://jolle.coe.uga.edu De/colonizing Preservice Teacher Education: Theatre of the Academic Absurd Dénommé-Welch, Spy, [email protected] University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Montero, M. Kristiina, [email protected] Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Abstract Where does the work of de/colonizing preservice teacher education begin? Aboriginal children‘s literature? Storytelling and theatrical performance? Or, with a paradigm shift? This article takes up some of these questions and challenges, old and new, and begins to problematize these deeper layers. In this article, the authors explore the conversations and counterpoints that came about looking at the theme of social justice through the lens of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) children‘s literature. As the scope of this lens widened, it became more evident to the authors that there are several filters that can be applied to the work of de/colonizing preservice teacher education programs and the larger educational system. This article also explores what it means to act and perform notions of de/colonization, and is constructed like a script, thus bridging the voices of academia, theatre, and Indigenous knowledge. In the first half (the academic script) the authors work through the messy and tangled web of de/colonization, while the second half (the actors‘ script) examines these frameworks and narratives through the actor‘s voice. The article calls into question the notions of performing inquiry and deconstructing narrative. Key words: decolonizing education; Indigenizing the academy; preservice teacher education; performing decolonization; decolonizing narrative; Indigenous knowledge; First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples of Canada; North America.
