My least favorite Christmas songs involve people feeling sorry for other people.\u00a0 There\u2019s no better way to encourage smug self-satisfaction about your superior life than listening to songs where people buy shoes for little boys who have mothers with cancer.\u00a0 At least the shoe song is about local, face-to-face charity.\u00a0 The all-time most annoying Christmas song, in my opinion, is Bob Geldof\u2019s 1984 \u201cDo They Know it\u2019s Christmas?\u201d, a world-wide smash hit and Christmas Number One in the UK.\u00a0 I know that I am not supposed to hate this song, because all the profits went to help sick and starving children in Africa\u2014not once, but three times (it was re-recorded in 2004 and 2014, both times as charity singles).\u00a0 But this song embodies for me all that is wrong with formerly (?) imperial countries and the way that they understand the world.<\/p>\n

\"Iceland-Christmas-Ad-Stills_246126722_413703621\"<\/p>\n

An image from Iceland\u2019s banned Christmas advert\u2013perhaps the orangutan isn\u2019t starving enough?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First, there is the idea that white westerners must save the Africans.\u00a0 This is problematic on two separate accounts.\u00a0 One, it ignores the fact that white, western countries stripped African countries of people and resources for hundreds of years through colonialism, and continue to do so\u2014just ask the UK supermarket chain Iceland, whose Christmas advert heralding their ban on palm oil, the harvesting of which destroys orangutan habitats, was banned for being \u201ctoo political\u201d (https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2018\/nov\/09\/iceland-christmas-tv-ad-banned-political-greenpeace-orangutan<\/a>).\u00a0 Nowhere in Geldof\u2019s song does it suggest that Britain might help Africa because Britain helped cause the problem in the first place.\u00a0 Two, even if you quibble with the notion that European colonialism continues to affect African countries, the idea that Africans need pity (rather than, say, economic development, fair trading practices, or reparations) perpetuates a racial hierarchy that is often felt much closer to home in the UK or US.\u00a0 Several children\u2019s books written by people of colour detail the humiliation of being compared with \u201cpitiable\u201d Africans; Kate Elizabeth Ernest\u2019s semi-autobiographical Birds in the Wilderness<\/em> (Methuen 1995), for example, includes a school lesson about the famine in Biafra (1967-1970). \u00a0After hearing from Sister Agnes tell the class that \u201cWe in the West are fortunate to have fertile land, enough food, water and wealth . . . We must help those who are less fortunate\u201d (29), Hope watches the pictures of the Biafran famine with horror and shame.\u00a0 \u201cHow could Grandpa be proud to be descended from Africans?\u201d (29) she asks.\u00a0 Then she realizes that the rest of her class associates the starving children with her, even though she is from Jamaica: \u201cI was the only black girl in the class and everyone looked at me\u201d (29).\u00a0 Hope\u2019s classmates learn the lesson that it is acceptable to be racist, as long as you are charitable while doing so. \u00a0As Bono famously sings in the Geldof song, \u201cTonight thank God it\u2019s them instead of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The linking of race and poverty (consciously or not) is the most egregious of problems with \u201cDo They Know it\u2019s Christmas?\u201d but it is not the only one.\u00a0 Simplistic attitudes toward \u201cthe world outside your window\u201d range from the idea that \u201cthere won\u2019t be snow in Africa this Christmastime\u201d (it actually does snow in Ethiopia, although not in the plains); to the idea that all Africans would care if they knew it was Christmas (about a quarter of the population is Muslim, to say nothing of other non-Christian religions); to the idea that if people don\u2019t have the consumer trappings of a Western-style Christmas, then they will not recognize the day as Christmas<\/em>.\u00a0 Rachel Isadora\u2019s The Night Before Christmas<\/em> (Putnam 2009) tries to counter some of the stereotypical attitudes toward Africa by resetting Clement Clarke Moore\u2019s 1823 poem, \u201cA Visit from St. Nicholas,\u201d in Africa.\u00a0 Her dreadlocked Santa visits a family in Africa, bringing snow in his wake and providing presents from his sack.\u00a0 Isadora, who is white American, lived in Africa for ten years, and has redone a number of traditional European and American tales by placing them in African settings; and although I think they are designed more to counter those na\u00efve stereotypes about people in Africa for white people than I think they are for Africans themselves, it is still nice to see a book with a Black Santa on the cover.<\/p>\n

\"9781101652886_p0_v1_s1200x630\"<\/p>\n

There will be snow in Africa\u2013and Santa Claus too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I thought about imperialism and its continuing effects too when I saw the cover of Esmeralda Santiago\u2019s A Doll for Navidades<\/em> (Scholastic 2005), which shows two brown girls cuddling a white doll.\u00a0 Santiago, who is Puerto Rican, and illustrator Enrique O. Sanchez, who is Dominican, did not accidentally depict a white, blonde, blue-eyed baby doll.\u00a0 The story is based on an incident from Santiago\u2019s own childhood, when she longed for a doll like her cousin had and specifically requested the blonde blue-eyed baby as a present.\u00a0 This recalls Kenneth and Mamie Clark\u2019s infamous 1950 \u201cdoll test\u201d in which all children of any colour who were offered white dolls or black dolls chose the white dolls.\u00a0 The experiment was used as evidence in the Brown vs. Board of Education decision to demonstrate the effects of systemic racism on children\u2019s self-image.\u00a0 Two of my former students\u2014one Puerto Rican and one Dominican, as it happens\u2014are currently looking in to what it means to have \u201cnational\u201d children\u2019s literatures in places where the shadow of imperialism (economic, political and cultural) still affects people on a daily basis.\u00a0 What is interesting to me about Santiago\u2019s book is that, while she allowed the white baby doll to remain, and titled the book A Doll for Navidades<\/em> (Christmas), the book itself focuses on the difference between an American concept of Christmas and the Puerto Rican traditions.<\/p>\n

\"9780439553988_mres\"<\/p>\n

Giving the readers what they expect? Santiago doesn\u2019t get the doll, and she doesn\u2019t get anything for Christmas, because gift-giving in her Puerto Rican childhood happened in January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The main character does not ask Santa for the doll, nor does she get gifts at Christmas.\u00a0 The family go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and eat traditional dishes on Christmas Day, but the gift-givers are the Three Kings, and the gift-receiving day is January 6th<\/sup> (their feast day).\u00a0 Again, these are, I believe, deliberate choices.\u00a0 Santiago, writing for an American audience, allows readers to think they are getting a story that mimics American stories of writing to Santa with demands\u2014but then, without fuss, gives a story that introduces other customs.\u00a0 Further, the main character does not get the doll because her family cannot afford it; but this is not a story of wretched poverty and reluctant self-sacrifice.\u00a0 Her sister gets the doll, and\u2014seeing the protagonist\u2019s disappointment\u2014asks her to be godmother to the doll.\u00a0 The children had learned to desire the consumer object made in a white western mode, but tradition and familial love made Christmas (and Three Kings\u2019 Day) a memorable feast.<\/p>\n
