Julia Mickenberg, Learning from the Left: Children's Literature, the Cold War, and Radical Politics in the United States Oxford U. Press, 2005

Wouldn't it be nice if people learned as children about nonviolence, about rejecting bigotry and war, about social justice? Tales for Little Rebels recovers the legacy of twentieth-century children's literature written by leftists. Co-editors Julia Mickenberg and Philip Nel discuss the tales and the social movements to which many of them were connected. Also, Nadine Wettstein objects to a Mukasey decision on immigrants' rights.
