Beschreibung:
This book explores the relationship between contemporary children's literature and second-generation memory, a device characterized by vicarious, rather than direct, experience of the past. Ulanowicz visits authors such as Blume, Lowery, and Zlata Filipovic to address second-generation memory's implications for children's literature, trauma and memory studies, and Holocaust studies.
