- W2182899637 abstract "Grounded in feminist notions of valuing lived experiences and constructing knowledge about the wider world from material realities, this article uses autobiographical narratives and poststructural and critical theories to argue for change in children’s literature. The author presents two simultaneous streams of shifting, representations and reinventions, to explore possibilities of including more varied and contradictory ways of living class-specific lives and assertively positioning readers to question the invisibility of working-class and poor lives in mainstream children’s literature. A metaphor of malleable “grass houses” is used to imagine broadened and more flexible ways of thinking and talking about social class through children’s picture books. The tink-ta-tink of rain dropping on the tin roof of my childhood home, a singlewide trailer, is as comforting today as it was many years ago and I find myself recreating the physical space of that trailer over and over again as an adult who studies issues of social class and poverty. Where lives are lived matters. That mine was lived in a trailer in the back of a trailer park matters. Physical places and material living conditions generate possibilities for play and some of the most pleasurable pursuits of mine included designing dream homes that were firmly grounded in my lived experiences and bolstered by desires for material living that seemed more luxurious than my own. I begin this article with a narrative from my childhood, presenting one version of a child’s life lived outside a carefully constructed ideal that privileges traditional family structures, spacious and permanent single-family homes, and materially-rich existences. This small sliver of a story from my young girlhood offers a useful metaphor −grass houses−for reimagining the boundaries and discourses of and about children’s literature when it comes to issues of social class. I draw on feminist theorists from both critical and poststructural perspectives" @default.
