Harriet Rohmer (b. 1938) created an independent publishing organization, Children’s Book Press, in 1975 to challenge the whiteness of mainstream children’s literature and to give inner city children alternative narratives to foster ethnic awareness and pride. The first 10 books, published between 1975 and 1978, entitled “Fifth World Tales,” became key to the non-profit’s growth into a major publisher of equitable children’s literature. This article shows how these first 10 books, ostensibly built on indigenous folklore of the Americas, also drew inspiration from the Latino communities of San Francisco, California. Most obviously, all 10 books featured the art of Latina and Latino muralists based in San Francisco’s Mission District, at the height of a flourishing community mural movement. Few street murals survived the flux of urban change, such that these children’s books represent an alternate, physically accessible illustration of this arts community, not unlike portable murals. Less obviously, it also reveals how the narratives of these books stemmed from the work of teacher and co-adapter Mary Anchondo (b. 1937) and from the parents and children of a Head Start pre-school classroom, as well as from a larger Latino intellectual community invested in myth and folklore. This article traces the unusual origins of these first 10 books, their publication as a federally funded effort to desegregate public schools, and these books as art objects of a Latino arts renaissance in San Francisco’s Mission District.

便携式壁画:儿童图书出版社和拉丁艺术的流通

Harriet Rohmer(生于 1938 年)于 1975 年创建了一个独立的出版组织,即儿童图书出版社,以挑战主流儿童文学的白度,并为内城儿童提供替代叙事,以培养民族意识和自豪感。1975 年至 1978 年间出版的前 10 本书名为“第五世界故事”,成为该非营利组织成长为公平儿童文学主要出版商的关键。本文展示了前 10 本书表面上建立在美洲的土著民俗基础上,也是如何从加利福尼亚州旧金山的拉丁裔社区中汲取灵感的。最明显的是,所有 10 本书都以旧金山教会区的拉丁裔和拉丁裔壁画家的艺术为特色,当时社区壁画运动蓬勃发展。很少有街道壁画能在城市变化的变化中幸存下来,因此,这些儿童读物代表了这个艺术社区的另一种可物理访问的插图,与便携式壁画不同。不太明显的是,它还揭示了这些书的叙述如何源自教师和合作改编者 Mary Anchondo(生于 1937 年)的作品、Head Start 学前班的父母和孩子,以及更大的拉丁裔知识分子社区投资于神话和民间传说。本文追溯了这前 10 本书的不同寻常的起源,它们作为联邦政府资助的旨在废除公立学校种族隔离的努力而出版,以及这些书作为旧金山 Mission 区拉丁裔艺术复兴的艺术品。它还揭示了这些书的叙述如何源自教师和合作改编者 Mary Anchondo(生于 1937 年)的作品、Head Start 学前班的父母和孩子,以及更大的拉丁裔知识分子社区投资于神话和民间传说。本文追溯了前 10 本书的不同寻常的起源,它们作为联邦政府资助的旨在废除公立学校种族隔离的努力而出版,以及这些书作为旧金山 Mission 区拉丁裔艺术复兴的艺术品。它还揭示了这些书的叙述如何源自教师和合作改编者 Mary Anchondo(生于 1937 年)的作品、Head Start 学前班的父母和孩子,以及更大的拉丁裔知识分子社区投资于神话和民间传说。本文追溯了前 10 本书的不同寻常的起源,它们作为联邦政府资助的旨在废除公立学校种族隔离的努力而出版,以及这些书作为旧金山 Mission 区拉丁裔艺术复兴的艺术品。
