Opis

And This Little Piggy Had None: Challenging the Dominant Discourse on Farmed Animals in Children's Picturebooks is a fascinating critique of how "farm" animals are represented in children' literature.

Recenzje

"Janae Dimick is one of those rare individuals whose commitments to justice for animals animates not only her intellectual life but the political and ethical project that guides her life. And This Little Piggy Had None: Challenging the Dominant Discourse on Farmed Animals in Children's Picturebooks is a masterful work that needs to be read by educators and far-reaching constituencies alike; it is among the growing literature that needs to be integrated into critical pedagogy and all forms of liberatory praxis for the sake of both human and non-human liberation-total liberation!" -Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Chapman University
