abstract = {The article aims to analyze children’s literature about refugees that has been published in the Polish market between 2015 and 2018 by using critical discourse analysis. The analysis of eleven publications for younger children focuses on the leading topoi, representations of refugees and discursive formations that appear in the books. Thanks to CDA, it was possible to discover an attitude which had not been directly articulated in the pro-refugee discourse based on the stereotypization of refugees (the figure of a poor refugee), asymmetry of relations or neo-colonialism and rooted in the discourse of “solidarity and compassion” or the discourse of “trouble-free multiculturalism”. The analysis also allowed us to establish the relationship between pro-refugee discourse and anti-refugee one. The analyzed books were all created after the so-called refugee crisis, and as such are interventionist and refer to hate speech since so they contest the anti-refugee discourse.},
