Description:
This book visits contemporary British children's and YA fiction alongside cosmopolitanism, exploring the notion of the nation within the context of globalization, transnationalism and citizenship. McCulloch addresses how children's and YA fiction imagines not only the nation but the world beyond.
Review Quotes:
"Fiona McCulloch's most recent book marks an important contribution to studies of contemporary literature for children and young adults (YA). It makes an especially timely and telling intervention in a specifically Scottish critical landscape that has still to give proper, sustained attention to the rich and diverse modes of writing which it encompasses. In making a highly per-suasive, compelling, and densely argued case for the ethical relevance and reach of this body of work, McCulloch's is surely the study that can redress that limitation."
