Reviews

""In this sweeping, exhaustive study of Latinx children's and young adult literature, Maya Socolovsky explores how authors of youth literature contend with the ever-shifting nature of U.S. immigration policy and rhetoric. Exploring contradictory theories of personhood and legality, Socolovsky analyzes the urgent conditions under which undocumented children migrate and survive in the U.S. landscape.""--Cristina Herrera, co-author of Latinx Teens: U.S. Popular Culture on the Page, Stage, and Screen ""The Documented Child is a beautifully written and thoughtful examination of citizenship, nation, and migration in U.S. Latinx children's literature. It offers brilliant and close analysis of a broad selection of texts that range from juvenile novels to chica lit to picture books. This study is essential.""--Phillip Serrato, contributor to Voices of Resistance: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Chican@ Children's Literature
