| Abstract: | This study examines how Taiwanese/Taiwanese American (T/TA) culture is portrayed in children's picturebooks that are available in the U.S and published between 2003 and 2022. We employed a critical content analysis with the AsianCrit perspective to analyze a total of 19 sampled books on T/TA culture. The findings revealed (1) a majority of the sampled books explicitly included a concrete component of Taiwanese culture through foods, holidays, and places; (2) cultural insider authors and illustrators tended to portray cultural artifacts or daily living in a realistic way; and (3) Taiwanese immigrant/Taiwanese American protagonists displayed various acculturation processes and challenges that they faced in the U.S., with an emerging Taiwanese identity that is distinct from Chinese identity. The study provides several implications for classroom teachers, authors/illustrators of picturebooks, and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
