Reviews

'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
