| Summary: | A transnational and transoceanic literary history that moves across English-speaking locales of the Atlantic, Sugarcoated Ethics traces the stories that British and US children's books, as well as Afro-Caribbean storytelling traditions, tell about the ethical responsibilities demanded by immediate and distant transatlantic relationships. This book treats transatlantic circulation, of people, ideas, goods and books, not only as an impetus for children's literature's explorations of ethics, but also as a site for ethical and unethical actions, with real impacts. |
