Little Black Sambo (Annotated)
Helen Bannerman
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman. The book contains a somewhat controversial story. Bannerman's original illustrations featured caricatures of a South Indian or Tamil boy. The narrative may have contributed to the use of the word "Sambo" as a racial slur. The success of the story led to the production of many pirated, inexpensive and generally easy-to-get versions that incorporated popular stereotypes of "black" people. In 1932 Langston Hughes criticized Little Black Sambo as the typical "black boy" storybook that wounded many children of color, and gradually led to the book's disappearance from lists of recommended children's stories. The book was also controversial in Japan, both for racism and piracy. Little Black Sambo (Chibikuro Sambo in Japanese) was first published in 1953 by the Iwanami Shoten publishing house. The book was a pirated version of the original, and it contained drawings by Frank Dobias that had appeared in a US edition. USA by the Macmillan publishing house, in 1927. Sambo illustrated himself as an African boy rather than as an Indian boy. Although it did not contain Bannerman's original artwork, publishing the pirated book was a big mistake for the original Japan version.
