Reading Dick and Jane with Me (1989) by Clarissa Sligh

Readers (primary)

This book is bound as a pamphlet and printed using lithography. The book dissects the Dick and Jane textbooks that were popular in the 1940s and 50s. Those textbooks made white upper-middle-class suburbanites seem like the “typical” American family. In response, Sligh inserts pictures of children from her old neighborhood.
