Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study explores the representation of India in U.S. children’s picture books in attempting to understand what picture of India is becoming accessible to American children as they are growing up and how this picture shapes the child’s perception about India and Indian people. All books pertaining to India (in all 13) from a small town library in the Pacific Northwest of America were analyzed for this study. Almost all the 13 books were published in the 1990s except for two, one of which was published in 1961 and one which was originally published before 1935. Three areas of the books were analyzed – the titles, the illustrations and the text. The primary categories identified during the analysis were nature and wild animals, poverty and hardship, spiritual hermits, and wit and common sense wisdom. The critical discourse analysis revealed that there is a continuation of reproduction of the hierarchical relations of race, gender, and nation articulated in Euroamerican colonial ideologies in the sample studied. The books maintain popular expectations about India that are dictated by colonial stereotypes, the discomfort in approaching multiculturalism in the United Statea and the concept of the “other” which is socially, temporally and spatially removed from the “here and now.” The discourses in these books help in creating a one-way history of progress, development and modernity of the Western society as opposed to their negative mirror images like, stagnation, underdevelopment and traditional in the “other” world, in this case India.
