On Wednesday, September 20, Brian Rouleau, a professor in the History Department at Texas A&M University, will present How Children’s Literature Helped Build America’s Empire. The discussion will focus on how nineteenth and twentieth century authors used children’s literature such as dime novels and comic books to promote America’s power and celebrate its growing global hegemony.
