Paperback. Condition: New. Immigrationis at once a personal, immediate, and urgent issue that plays a central role in the United States' perception of itself. In The Documented Child, scholar Maya Socolovsky demonstrates how the portrayal of Latinx children has shifted over the first two decades of the twenty-first century in literary texts aimed at children and young adults and looks at how these shifts map onto broader changes in immigration policy and discourse. Through a critical inquiry into picture books and middle-grade and young adult literature, Socolovsky argues that the literary documentations of-and for-U.S. Latinx children have shifted over the decades, from an emphasis on hybrid transnationalism to that of a more American-oriented self. Socolovsky delves into texts written from 1997 to 2020, a period marked by tremendous changes in U.S. immigration policies, amplified discourses around nationhood, and an increasingly militarized border. The author shows how children's and young adult books have shifted their depictions of the border, personal and national identity, and sovereignty.For students, scholars, and educators of Latinx studies and children's literature, this work shows how the creators of children's literature reflect new strategies for representing the undocumented Latinx child protagonist. While earlier books document the child as a transnational (sometimes global) subject, later books document her as both a transnational and U.S. national subject. The Documented Child explores this change as a necessary survival strategy, reflecting current awareness that cultural hybridity and transnational identity are not sufficient stand-ins for the stability and security of legal personhood.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book examines the ways in which recent U.S. Latina literature challenges popular definitions of nationhood and national identity. It explores a group of feminist texts that are representative of the U.S. Latina literary boom of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, when an emerging group of writers gained prominence in mainstream and academic circles. Through close readings of select contemporary Mexican American, Puerto Rican, and Cuban American works, Maya Socolovsky argues that these narratives are 'remapping' the United States so that it is fully integrated within a larger, hemispheric Americas. Looking at such concerns as nation, place, trauma, and storytelling, writers Denise Chavez, Sandra Cisneros, Esmeralda Santiago, Ana Castillo, Himilce Novas, and Judith Ortiz Cofer challenge popular views of Latino cultural 'unbelonging' and make strong cases for the legitimate presence of Latinas/Latinos within the United States. In this way, they also counter much of today's anti-immigration rhetoric. Imagining the U.S. as part of a broader "Americas," these writings trouble imperialist notions of nationhood, in which political borders and a long history of intervention and colonization beyond those borders have come to shape and determine the dominant culture's writing and the defining of all Latinos as "other" to the nation. -- Contents: Introduction: Troubling America(s); Spaces of the Southwest: Dis-ease, Disease, and Healing in Denise Chávez's The Last of the Menu Girls and Face of an Angel; Mestizaje in the Midwest: Remapping National Identity in the American Heartland in Ana Castillo's Sapogonia and Sandra Cisneros' Caramelo; Colonization and Transgression in Puerto Rican Spaces: Judith Ortiz Cofer's The Line of the Sun and The Meaning of Consuelo; Memoirs of Resistance: Colonialism and Transnationalism in Esmeralda Santiago's When I Was Puerto Rican, Almost a Woman, and The Turkish Lover; Tales of the Unexpected: Cuban American Narratives of Place and Body in Himilce Novas's Princess Papaya; Postscript: The Illegal Aliens of American Letters: Troubling the Immigration Debate; Notes; Bibliography; Index.
