A particularly attractive aspect of this study is the focus on young adult literature and its place in post-apartheid South Africa, as well as its potential use in the classroom and lecture hall. Intersecting these two topics provides a compelling lens for refocusing debate on young adult fiction while offering a new and novel angle on debates in South Africa after the end of apartheid. The multilingual and multicultural South African society has resulted in fiction that differs from other parts of the English-speaking world. This work presents a holistic critique of South African young adult fiction and addresses issues such as change and transformation, identity politics, sexuality, and the issue of the right of white writers to represent and “write” characters of different races. .SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingLanguage and languagesStyleLiteracyLanguage EducationStylisticsLiteracyLanguage and languagesStudy and teaching.Language and languagesStyle.Literacy.Language Education.Stylistics.Literacy.809.300835Inggs Judithauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut968182MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255152203321Transition and Transgression2514646UNINA
