Knowing their place: identity and space in children's literature
Abstract
Traditionally in the West, children were expected to "know their place", but what does this mean in a contemporary, globalized world? How does children's literature help explain how identity is derived from a sense of place? In children's literature, the physical places and psychological spaces inhabited by children and young adults help shape the identity of both characters and readers.
