Beskrivning
Didactics and the Modern Robinsonade examines modern and contemporary Robinsonade texts written for young readers, looking specifically at the ways in which later adaptations of the Robinson Crusoe story subvert both traditional narrative structures and particular ideological codes within the genre. This collection redresses both the gender and geopolitical biases that have characterized most writings within the Robinsonade genre since its inception, and includes chapters on little-known works of fiction by female authors, as well as works from outside the mainstream of Anglo-American culture.

Recensioner i media

'Ian Kinane discerns the beginnings of a post-colonial didactics entering the Robinsonade […] Kinane is marking a significant shift away from the Euro-centric Robinsonade’s allegiance to the colonialist ideology that undergrided the genre for two centuries. […] The young reader, viewing the world through Karana or Friday’s eyes, perceives the perversions and injustices of imperial power.' Susan Naramore Maher, Children’s Literature Association Quarterly
