</span></i><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">(<i>RDYL</i>) announces a call for papers for a special issue on minstrelsy and racist appropriation in youth literature and culture. Scheduled to publish in June 2020,
<b><i>RDYL </i>3.1 </b>will be guest edited by Dr. Brigitte Fielder (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Dr. Katrina Phillips (Macalester College).

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Children’s literature and popular culture are key to the production of racism. Young people encounter depictions and performances of race in a myriad of forms,
often in ways that appropriate and misrepresent non-White people. Given the overwhelming whiteness of children’s literary and popular culture in the U.S., it is clear how such misrepresentations risk overshadowing non-White people’s presence, resistance to
racial oppression, and self-representation. Children’s literature and popular culture contributes to minstrelsy, blackface, redface, yellowface, and other forms of racist caricature and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">This special issue calls contributors to consider the various forms that minstrelsy and racist appropriation take in youth literature, popular culture, and
performance. What are the most prominent genres in which these forms of depiction and performance appear? How do forms of racism translate across genres, and how is performance, in particular, implied in other adaptations of minstrel themes? How do the histories
of these forms of racism reflect their specific moments and how did they affect the people they misrepresented? How do present iterations of minstrelsy and racist appropriation either replicate or diverge from their earlier forms? We are also interested in
work that counters these histories of appropriation. How do non-White writers push against these stereotypes and constructions? Where is the most productive work (in literature, popular culture, or academic writing) against these racist forms? How might we
better navigate these as researchers, scholars, librarians, educators, parents and caregivers, and others who seek to prioritize the interests of the children (and adults) who are adversely affected by racist appropriation?
