| Abstract: | The article focuses on the representation of Juneteenth in children's literature, analyzing how various authors depict the holiday through counternarratives and dominant narratives influenced by white mythology. It highlights the significance of Juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, and critiques how some literature emphasizes celebration while neglecting the historical context and ongoing racial injustices. The authors advocate for the selection of texts that honor Black experiences and joy, while also addressing the lingering impacts of racism, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of Juneteenth for students. The study aims to guide educators in choosing literature that fosters critical discussions about race and history in the classroom. [Extracted from the article] |
