Abstract
This article examines the contentions of recapitulation theory in child development study as materialised in images and texts of children's books, and how these contributed to the ideological hegemony of possible and impossible childhoods, with the white innocent and Black savage as counterpoints. In addition, it identifies the continuity of this perspective both in popular culture and academic denials that such racialised distinctions are problematic.
