AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'One of the many benefits of attending biennial International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) Congresses in different countries, hosted by national sections, is meeting and befriending those engaged in book promotion all over the world and discovering how similar we are, despite our cultural differences. Doris Breitmoser has worked for The Association for Children's and Youth Literature (AKJ) Arbeitkreis fur Jugenliteratur for twenty years and has been its director since 2002. We met at the IBBY Congress in Santiago, Spain in 2010, again in 2014 in Mexico City, and most recently in 2016 in Auckland , NZ. Doris's work with AKJ is truly inspiring and so I share it with you here.' (Introduction)

    'I've been trying to understand the concept of, and actual meaning of the terms 'post truth' and 'alternate facts'. I know that the meaning of words has, and continues to, change. That English is a language that has always appropriated words from other languages and cultures and still does. But 'post truth' and 'alternative fact'  are words that seem more laden. For instance, there is the implication that truth has ceased to be endowed with its import, with its certainty, and yes, the words 'alternative fact' have long been in common usage but they are not an obvious fit.'
