A Review of Children’s Cultures After Childhood (Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak and Macaraene García- González, Eds., 2023)

Keywords: new materialism, posthumanism, children's literature, after childhood

Abstract

Children’s Cultures After Childhood (2023) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort by children’s literature, culture, and cognition scholars eager to go beyond the text. Inspired by Peter Kraftl’s After Childhood and informed by posthumanist and new materialist theories, this collection of essays begins the difficult work of shifting the discipline toward new ways of seeing and doing.
