Summary/Abstract: „War from the child’s perspective“ is a collection of essays edited by Nađa Bobičić and written by fourteen young feminist critics from the region of ex Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Macedonia). Author of this review explains how authors analyze literary texts that cover prose and poetry from second half of twentieth century to today. He also notices that all essays are united by topic of war and child as main narrative or poetic subject, and highlights how intention of all of them is denouncing the mechanism of (re)constructing child perspective, which is never innocent or ideologically naive, even when ‘confirmed’ by experience. Each essay is examined and conclusion brings positive assessment of unity of tone and enthusiasm of authors and editor in the context of project-funded publishing. Author also emphasizes that this collection is worthy contribution to otherwise marginalized field of children and young adult fiction, especially with its feminist approach.
