Over The Rainbow
A Guide to the Law for Lesbians and Gay Men in Victoria
Jennifer Lord; Lynn Buchanan
In spite of the growing critical interest concerning gender and sexual non-normativity in and around narratives written for young readers, no book-length volume on the subject has yet appeared. Over the Rainbow is the first collection of essays dedicated to LGBTQ issues in children’s literature. Bringing together significant essays and introducing new work, Over the Rainbow is intended to serve both as a scholarly reference and as a textbook for students of children’s studies; gender/queer studies; and related disciplines such as English, history, sociology, and education. Editors Kenneth Kidd and Michelle Abate showcase important essays on the subject of LGBTQ children’s and young adult literature while providing a provisional history of both the literature and the scholarship and examining the field’s origins, current status, and possible future orientations. Over the Rainbow collects essays by Jes Battis, Robin Bernstein, Thomas Crisp, June Cummins, Elizabeth A. Ford, Sherrie A. Inness, Christine A. Jenkins, Vanessa Wayne Lee, Biddy Martin, Robert McRuer, Claudia Nelson, Jody Norton, Tison Pugh, Catherine Tosenberger, Eric L. Tribunella, Roberta Seelinger Trites, and Andrea Wood.
