Beschreibung

Looking at picture books and middle-grade and young adult literature written from 1997 to 2020, The Documented Child demonstrates how the portrayal of Latinx children has dramatically shifted and discusses how these shifts map onto broader changes in immigration policy and discourse in the United States.
