Join us for a special panel on diversity in youth literature at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Name Society.
Recent years have seen a blistering and sustained effort to severely limit the breadth and range of literature available to readers. This censorship movement has been especially active in trying to control publications for underage readers. In response to this controversy, Bloomsbury will soon release a new book in the onomastic series edited NAMES Editor-in-Chief, I. M. Nick. This multi-authored volume specifically explores names, naming, and diversity in youth literature. The panel presents some of the many works featured in the upcoming compendium.
The book is available for Pre-order from Bloomsbury here.
