About this ebook

Canon Shifts explores the dynamic nature of literary canons, revealing how these collections of esteemed works are shaped by cultural values and power dynamics rather than existing as timeless, objective truths. The book highlights how social justice movements have propelled shifts in canon formation, advocating for greater inclusion and representation of marginalized voices in literature. Notably, the text analyzes the historical construction of canons, demonstrating how social, political, and economic factors influence which works achieve canonical status. The study offers a unique blend of historical analysis, critical theory, and practical pedagogical strategies, providing educators with actionable guidance for creating inclusive learning environments. Beginning with an introduction to core concepts, the book progresses through detailed case studies, such as the rise of postcolonial literature, before culminating in strategies for educators to foster critically engaged classrooms. By integrating literary criticism, historical archives, and educational research, Canon Shifts provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces reshaping our literary landscape.
