Case 11: 1976 - 1989
Children's books, and other genres published at the end of the 20th century, featured multiple perspectives, representing many different kinds of people and experiences. Civil War books followed the trend. Women and African Americans emerged as protagonists more frequently than ever. Characters' emotions became a larger part of the story. Topics became more varied and expanded far beyond the confines of the battlefield.
