A new world order or a new dark age? -- Children's texts, new world orders and transformativepossibilities -- Masters, slaves and entrepreneurs: globalised utopias and new world order(ing)s --The lure of the lost paradise: postcolonial utopias -- Reweaving nature and culture: reading ecocritically -- 'Radiant with possibility': communities and utopianism -- Ties that bind: reconceptualising home and family -- The struggle to be human in a posthuman world -- The future: what are our prospects?

Children's texts are highly responsive to social change and to global politics, and are implicated in shaping the values of children and young people. New World Orders shows how texts for children and young people have responded to the cultural, economic and political movements ofthe last fifteen years. With a focus on international children's textsproduced between 1988 and 2006, the authors discuss how utopian and dystopian tropes are pressed into service to project possible futures to child readers. The book considers what these texts have to say about globalization, neocolonialism, environmental issues, pressures on families and communities, and the idea of the posthuman. This fascinating volume is the first thorough study of how children's books imagine and propose possible worlds and societies.
