Abstract:

Abstract: Human rights are one of the factors that ensure the hopes of the common man. Sadly, however, it is not uncommon to see these rights violated by dictatorial regimes. When this happens, literature must take the initiative to bring light to such violations and help people sympathize with those whose rights are abused. This article explores the relationship between literature and human rights. It argues that literature can play a paramount role in promoting human rights in two ways. First, literature, being a reflection of reality, can expose the various human rights violations and abuse

Abstract:

Using womanist literary criticism, this work has critically analyzed and revealed that women’s worth is tied to their ability to bear children. The study has also examined the plight, predicaments, and abuses of childless women in African culture. The paper has revealed that childless women are verbally abused, physically beaten, psychologically abused, and maltreated. The paper argues that it is unethical and immoral to maltreat childless women for involuntary infertility. The pressures coming from society constitute huge struggles for childless women when they fail to bear children after a c

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Dickens’s final completed fiction, Holiday Romance, is a neglected and misunderstood work. It is a suite of four short stories and what little critical attention it has garnered has missed the main idea behind the work. While most scholars who have written about Holiday Romance consider it as little more than children’s entertainment, it is better interpreted as political commentary on expanding voting rights. Read in the context of Dickens’s complex views on the Second Reform Act of 1867, this work reflects his support for expanding the vote, his pessimism that Parliament could intro

Abstract:

In the last five decades, Toni Morrison’s fiction has covered such intricate topics as the impact of the past on the present, the damage produced on bodies and minds by different types of abuses, and the power and perils of small communities. She revisits some of those themes in her last novel, "God Help the Child" (2015), but this time zooms in more closely on the topics of child abuse and colorism – an internal racism of blacks against those with darker skin shades. "God Help the Child" proves innovative because the story is set in presentday fictional California, where the rate of child mol

A review of information on child welfare is presented with a historical account of expressive modalities used in the therapeutic context when working with children. Since stories provide a developmentally appropriate means of communication, a brief review on the efficacy of using storytelling techniques with children is also provided.

Abstract:

The classics of Nigerian children’s novels identify various sources of child psychopathology. This article focalises the adult role in the etiology of child psychopathology. Viewed from the critical lens of postcolonialism as enunciated by Edward Said, the article avers that the abuse of power by adults is a major cause of psychopathology in children. And from textual exhibits, it proves that child psychopathology may be remediated through a reorientation and conscientisation of the adult on the centrality of the child. This is achieved through a juxtaposition of the ideal and the flawed in th

Abstract:

Joyce Carol Oates's My Sister, My Love is a fictional memoir inspired by the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey. The novel, told from the perspective of the victim's brother, satirizes the exploitation of children in beauty pageants and the superficiality of suburban life. Through a counter-memory narrative, Oates sheds light on the hidden abuse endured by children, revealing the dark underbelly of a seemingly perfect family. The novel serves as a powerful critique of societal pressures and the devastating consequences for young victims.

Abstract:

The article discusses contemporary young adult and post-adolescent literatures, which respond to the modern world with its catastrophes and challenges in a more acute manner than fiction for adults. A new literary genre, the problem young adult novel needs a comprehensive literary analysis. The age bracket of the genre, which is still open for discussion, is examined by the author in detail. While young adult fiction has a different agenda from children’s literature, it often surpasses ‘grown-up’ books in terms of issues raised and their relevance, which is especially true for the problem youn

Abstract:

This article focuses upon ‘the textual abuse of childhood in the English-speaking world’ (Saunders and Goddard, 2001). It highlights the significant role that the choice of words used to refer to children, and their experiences, plays in both the continued denial of children’s rights, and the perpetuation of children’s lesser status in relation to adults. The evolution in language apparent in international children’s rights documents is compared and contrasted with language adopted in some media articles, and in both fictional and academic literature, provoking thought about children and their

Abstract:

Revelations of organised abuse by men of Asian heritage in the United Kingdom have become a recurrent feature of international media coverage of sexual abuse in recent years. This paper reflects on the similarities between the highly publicised ‘sex grooming’ prosecutions in Rochdale in 2012 and the allegations of organised abuse in Rochdale that emerged in 1990, when twenty children were taken into care after describing sadistic abuse by their parents and others. While these two cases differ in important aspects, this paper highlights the prominence of colonial ideologies of civilisation and

In response to children’s book critic Meghan Cox Gurdon’s criticism of “dark” and “pathological” teen fiction, this chapter asks whether pathologies—instances of abuse and harm—in teen fiction might figure less as dangerous lures for careless readers and more as promising heuristics for gauging provisions of care and p

Abstract Martha Gellhorn and Dorothy West both worked as relief investigators (welfare investigators) during the Depression and translated what they saw into short fiction about people barely getting by on inadequate relief. Where Kromer and Hughes and so many other writers of extreme poverty in the Great Depression portray isolated, usually male stiffs adrift on the street, Gellhorn and West center on women and children in broken families struggling on relief so meager that it threatens to turn their family, or at least its men, onto the street like stiffs, and for Gellhorn, on families that

The chapter examines how women incorporated social themes in their short fiction, an emphasis that often differentiates these narratives from ones written by men through the utilization of distinct Irish settings, Irish historical moments, and the foregrounding of the lives of Irish women. These writers responded to rapid social and political changes by creating literary ghosts that reflected contemporary concerns about marriage, domestic abuse, women and children, haunted houses, mone

Two functions of the home in particular are examined here, illustrated through fairy stories, fiction and films.
