Donnarae MacCann
"...rich and comprehensive...If ever there was a text for
...children's literature historians and professors ...to invest
time in and give serious attention to the portrayal of African
Americans ...this is it...Clearly, MacCann's book is of importance.
...The searing focus of her book does...enlighten and extend
existing knowledge on the history of white supremacy in children's
literature..." -- History of Reading News
"MacCann's book explains so much about the racial situation in the
US today that it should not be restricted to those studying
children's literature. It should be in every library and read by
all those who expect "the arts and institutions to maximize social
justice"." -- Choice
