Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyses the multiculturalism in children’s and young people’s literature written in Catalan between 2002 and 2006, a period when there was a marked increase in immigration and the debate about intercultural education became more intense. The study focuses on a corpus of 95 books selected according to different factors (namely, literary awards, positive reviews and recommendation lists). This enables a broad approach to be taken on the issue of cultural diversity. It must be pointed out, however, that the Catalan children’s and young people’s literature analysed does not reflect this period of cultural diversity. Including both the diversity already and that resulting of the new conditions created by changes taking place at the beginning of the century. Finally, a list of multicultural books and a list of books that can be used as teaching tools for intercultural education is suggested.

Key words: Catalan Children’s and Young People’s Literature, interculturality, multiculturality, literary education, cultural diversity, Minorities Literature, literary canon, globalisation.
