The chapters address different models of presenting foreigners using  examples from children’s educational prints, dramatic performances, travel narratives,  comics, and picture books. Contributors illuminate the  ways in which the texts negotiate the tensions between the Enlightenment ideal  of internationalism and discrete national or ethnic identities cultivated since  the Romantic era, providing examples of ethnocentric cultural perspectives and  of cultural relativism, as well as instances where discussions of child reader  agency indicate how they might participate eventually in a tolerant  transnational community.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-09-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137461681\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-46169-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 268.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383571800204,"sku":"9781137461681","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137461681.jpg?v=1765512785","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137461681","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
