ENG 295 Week 2 Project Gutenberg

This week’s readings from the Project Gutenberg site offer wonderful examples of Alphabets, Chapter Books, and Picture Books. Some, such as The Adventure of Two Dutch Dolls and a ‘Golliwogg’ and Little Black Sambo, offer a look at how stereotypical depictions of people of color have presented in literary culture. Be sure to read “Little Brown Sanjay and Little Black Sambo: Childhood Reading, Adult Rereading; Colonial Text and Postcolonial Reception” from the Week 2 Electronic Reserve Readings page in conjunction with these picture books.
