    Secondary Texts ; q62 This website provides an on-line study guide to Salman Rushdie's controversial novel, The Satanic Verses.The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie's fourth novel. It was first published in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad. The title refers to the Satanic Verses, an attempted interpolation in the Qur'an described by Ibn Ishaq in his biography of Muhammad ( which is the oldest surviving text). The novel caused much controversy upon publication in 1988 since many Muslims considered it to contain blasphemous references. The website attempts to explain Rushdie's many allusions and to provide a "thorough explication" of the novel. The site provides a summary of the novel, several essays on the book and links to further resources on the web.

    The aim of this thesis is to explore how children's magic realist fiction contributes to critical Global Citizenship Education (GCE). This study argues that children's magic realist literature can facilitate young readers' knowledge and understanding of human rights issues and promote environmental awareness in a non-didactic manner by representing global issues from non-human perspectives. The thesis comprises four articles. The first study explores the non-human perspective of an animalhuman 'cyborg' protagonist in Peter Dickinson's novel Eva (1988). The study shows how the non-human perspective allows the reader to go beyond anthropocentric boundaries in order to explore the issue of treating the other. The second study investigates an animal perspective on the Roma genocide along with the mistreatment of animals in the Second World War in Sonya Hartnett's The Midnight Zoo (2010). The animal perspective shows human intolerance of other humans (the Roma) intertwined with human actions towards animals and encourages the reader in a non-didactic way to adopt an eco-philosophical standpoint. The third study is concerned with the representation of the Holocaust from the point of view of a supernatural narrator, Death, in Marcus Zusak's The Book Thief (2005). Death's inverted magic realist narrative facilitates the young reader's understanding of human rights issues and represents the history of the genocide in a non-didactic manner. The fourth study examines the relationships between humans and the natural environment shown from the non-human perspective of a tree. Taking the lens of holistic ecology, this study explores the representation of human - nature relationships in Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls (2011) and how the novel guides the child-reader towards an awareness of environmental issues

    In the current context of the proliferation of neo-slave narratives, Lorene s Cary The Price of a Child (1995) strikes a rather singular tone. With its title explicitly echoing Toni Morrison s Beloved, Cary s novel and its straightforward realism come as a surprise. As this close intertextual reading of the two novels intends to show, beyond expressing a probable anxiety of influence, Cary s narrative appears to revise major tenets of the African American ethos on which Beloved rests. ; 153 ; 166 ; Bremen ; 1 ; 1
