Description

Can fairy tales resist consumerism and globalization's homogenizing influence? Jack Zipes, a celebrated scholar of fairy tales and children's literature, explores these critical questions in this thought-provoking examination of how storytelling maintains authenticity in an age of mass consumption. Despite the dangerous reconfiguration of children as consumers within modern civilizing processes, Zipes argues that children's literature, fairy tales, and storytelling possess a uniquely powerful capacity to counter negative forces and preserve cultural resistance. This Routledge publication investigates the tension between commercial pressures and the transformative potential of narrative traditions, offering scholars, educators, and literary professionals essential insights into how imaginative storytelling can challenge prevailing cultural narratives and protect the integrity of children's engagement with literature in contemporary society.
