- 2. “Probably, a more important goal of research on children’s literature than book selection is the raising of awareness on the way language in children’s storybooks represents or misrepresents reality and how these (mis)representations influence the way children see and live in the real world.” (Ramos, 2006)
- 3. Research Questions 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines?
- 4. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Racial identities were created through visual as well as lexical markers.
- 5. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Visual Racial Markers
- 6. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Visual Racial Markers Skin Color
- 7. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Visual Racial Markers Cultural and historical artifacts such as clothing, accessories, tools, etc.
- 8. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Visual Racial Markers Combination Skin Color Cultural and historical artifacts such as clothing, accessories, tools, etc.
- 9. 1. How were racial identities created in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Lexical Racial Markers Lahi = Race “White” “Black” “Brown” “Red” “Yellow” Indirectly “Caramba” “Invaders”

- 11. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Stereotypes
- 12. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Stereotypes… Coon (1962) 5 Human Races Caucasoid race Congoid race Capoid race Mongoloid race Australoid race
- 13. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Caucasoid race?
- 14. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Caucasoid race! Only these two were clearly identified as caucasoids…
- 15. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Caucasoid race! Only these two were clearly identified as caucasoids… One of the Invaders Apo Mayor (Old Mayor)
- 16. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Capoid race?
- 17. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Capoid race!
- 18. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Congoid race?
- 19. 2. How were racial identities represented in selected children storybooks published in the Philippines? Congoid race? Capoid race.
- 20. Research Questions 3. How are ideologies on race and ethnicity realized through linguistic, textual or visual representations of racial identities in children’s storybooks published in the Philippines?
- 21. 3. How are ideologies on race and ethnicity realized? Inclusion, Exclusion, Depiction 5 Human Races Caucasoid race Congoid race Capoid race Mongoloid race Australoid race
- 22. 3. How are ideologies on race and ethnicity realized? Inclusion Two conflicting depictions…both based on historical encounters…both reflective of Filipino’s colonial past.
- 28. Overt ideology Which race is more superior?
- 29. Covert ideology Which race is more superior? Is Bathala (God) visually depicted belonging to the brown or the white race?
- 30. Conclusions and recommendations 1. McLuhan (1965) asserts, “the medium is the message” (p.7). Children’s storybooks as a medium that makes use of linguistic as well as visual elements appear to use stereotypes as both channels of ideology as well as ideological content. (Ramos, 2006) 2. The study also suggests that visuals are not mere illustrations since visuals provide detail, information that is beyond those expressed by the linguistic elements. (Ramos, 2006) Or, in the case of this study ideologies opposite those conveyed through words.
- 31. Conclusions and recommendations 1. Since the storybooks used have bilingual texts, future researchers can also conduct a contrastive analysis of the Filipino and English versions of the texts in the children’s storybooks. (Ramos, 2006) 2. Future researchers can also explore similarities and differences between words and images in representing and conveying information through other forms of media such as the internet, television, films, computer games, cell phone messages, etc. (Ramos, 2006)

Editor's Notes
- This paper is an extension of a research I conducted as a graduate student at DLSU Manila. The research explored multimodal gender representations in children storybooks published in the Philippines. One important conclusion raised in said study is this insight:
- Combination
- An influential publication was The Races of Europe (1939) by Carleton S. Coon, president of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists from 1930 to 1961. Coon was a proponent of Multiregional origin of modern humans. He divided Homo sapiens into five main races
