Lewis’s war trauma narrative The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe from a Cree perspective. The “war” addressed in The Barren Grounds is that of the violent acts of colonization that have disconnected several Indigenous generations from their ancestral cultures. The compulsion to reimagine this British classic story in a way that focuses on his own cultural background shows that there was something missing for Robertson in the source text: his Cree identity. Using as a framework Suzanne Methot’s approach to complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), which results from repeated traumatic experiences over a prolonged period, I demonstrate that The Barren Grounds emphasizes the significance of cultural reclamation for the healing of intergenerational trauma, including trauma resulting from the foster care experience. The Indigenization of Lewis’s story recognizes children’s rights to an education that includes Indigenous children’s and YA literature and adopts nation-specific Indigenous knowledge as a framework for reading this literature.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45326457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Blood in the Water: Jewell Parker Rhodes’s Bayou Magic as Children’s Petrofiction","authors":"Lara Saguisag","doi":"10.3138/jeunesse-14.1.04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/jeunesse-14.1.04","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Jewell Parker Rhodes’s Bayou Magic (2015), written in the wake of the 2010 BP oil spill, deliberates the special problem of talking to children about oil. How does one tackle the subject of oil when addressing young people? How are children enabled to participate in discourses on petroleum? The novel also reveals a dilemma: the resource that we associate with comfort and progress actually contaminates, wounds, and lays waste to natural and human ecosystems. Caught in the mucky conundrum of oil, Bayou Magic reveals the challenges of talking to children about oil and oil catastrophes. In striving to meet the expectation that children’s fiction should offer a hopeful, if not happy, ending, Bayou Magic resorts to a resolution that “contains” the oil spill but sidesteps the problem of our persisting dependence on oil. But the novel’s allusion to the African deity Mami Wata is significant, as the figure connects the oppression of Black peoples to the exploitation of natural resources. As such, the novel uses fantastical elements not to imply that only something magical or divine can save us from disaster; rather, it signals that projects of environmental justice require openness to and embrace of radically imaginative solutions.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48996297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tout en soulignant la singularité de ces deux livres, nous montrons qu’ils partagent une même trame narrative et se font écho en ce qui concerne certains passages et descriptions. En outre, leurs personnages principaux se caractérisent par leur souffrance, à laquelle ils cherchent à échapper par leur imaginaire. Les deux récits peuvent enfin être lus comme des allégories religieuses, racontant l’histoire de deux êtres qui affrontent la mort et à qui des amis sont envoyés pour les aider dans ce passage. Alors que dans Le palais japonais le petit prince Tetsuo emprunte plusieurs traits à Jésus, dans Le voilier de cristal, c’est le tigre Gabriel qui fait référence à l’archange du même nom. Nous nous efforçons, par la comparaison de ces deux livres, de faire ressortir des éléments qui constituent le cœur de la poétique de Vasconcelos.Abstract:This article aims to compare and analyze two stories by Brazilian author José Mauro de Vasconcelos (1920–1984), The Japanese Palace (“O Palácio Japonês”) and The Crystal Sailboat (“O Veleiro de cristal”), published in 1969 and 1973 respectively. While highlighting the uniqueness of these two novels, we also show they share a common narrative framework and echo each other in terms of certain passages and descriptions. What’s more, their main characters are characterized by their suffering, which they try to escape through their imagination. Both tales can be read as religious allegories, telling the story of two people who face death and to whom friends are sent to ease their passing. In The Japanese Palace, Tetsuo the little prince shares many traits with Jesus, but in The Crystal Sailboat, it is Gabriel the tiger that references the archangel of the same name. We try, by comparing both novels, to bring to light the elements at the very heart of Vasconcelos’ poetry.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44394769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within most history museums, children are superficially represented in well-worn, overly simplistic tropes overwritten by adult nostalgia, romanticism, and sentimentalism. Rarely are the details of their lives—not to mention their ideas or perspectives—engaged in a substantive and nuanced way. This representation is especially true for racialized children and those from other historically marginalized groups. Children are often presented as examples of a generic type (\"ten-year-old boy\"), and overwhelmingly as historical victims. But curating traces of children's material and immaterial culture can offer insight into young people's understandings of cultural, political, and social matters—unique and valuable perspectives that deserve closer attention. This article explores the dominant narratives used to represent children as historical actors in the recently revamped Canadian History Hall at the Canadian Museum of History. Focusing on the possibilities and challenges of presenting children's perspectives, experiences, and voices, we take the new Canadian History Hall as a case study, and analyze both the narrative form and content of the many representations of children and childhood found in its three galleries.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43793378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses how from the 1970s onward, the former refugees attempted to sustain the memory of their exilic homeland, often with support from other memory actors in both Poland and India. Analyzing both personal testimonies and grassroots memory activism, this article investigates the intertwining of individual memory with wider memorial trends, such as vernacular, national, and transnational memory. By discussing the ways in which personal and familial memory of wartime childhood serve as a springboard for other commemorative initiatives, this article also examines how children and young people feature in public memory, both as memory actors and objects of commemoration. In doing so, not only do I ask broader questions about remembering children that are relevant to this special issue, but also provide a window into the vicissitudes of Polish politics of memory from the late 1940s to the present.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43282915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
