RE: [xmca] Child Development in Film and Literature: Help!

[Cathrene Connery <cconnery@ithaca.edu>]

Here are a few more:

Film:
Real Women Have Curves (About an Adolescent Latina Girl)
Freedom Writers (A little hokey but at least it represents diversity in American schools)
Books:
The House on Mango Street: Sandra Cisneros
War Dances: Sherman Alexie

There are some excellent collections of short stories called "Growing Up Latina/o" and "Growing Up Native American" that might be of interest. And then there is a plethora of rich multicultural children's literature to use depending on the semiotic lens you will be looking through.

Best wishes,
Cathrene

What a fantastic list. Is someone going to collate all this?
