Storying into Resistance: The Use of Purposeful Placement Stories
Abstract
This chapter considers the myths and falsehoods that Black children will encounter throughout their lifetime. These are numerous and are constantly being reinforced by children’s books, media, school curriculum, and the adults in their lives. As such, this chapter explores the use of and power of the purposeful placement of stories in the author’s role as a Black mother of young Black children in the United States as an attempt to combat these and other racialized realities.
