Anderson's Feed to the spirited young rebels of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy, the protagonists of Young Adult dystopias are introducing a new generation of readers to the pleasures and challenges of dystopian imaginings. As the dark universes of YA dystopias continue to flood the market,Contemporary Dystopian Fiction for Young Adults: Brave New Teenagers offers a critical evaluation of the literary and political potentials of this widespread publishing phenomenon. With its capacity to frighten and warn, dystopian writing powerfully engages with our pressing global concerns: liberty and self-determination, environmental destruction and looming catastrophe, questions of identity and justice, and the increasingly fragile boundaries between technology and the self. When directed at young readers, these dystopian warnings are distilled into exciting adventures with gripping plots and accessible messages that may have the potential to motivate a generation on the cusp of adulthood. This collection enacts a lively debate about the goals and efficacy of YA dystopias, with three major areas of contention: do these texts reinscribe an old didacticism or offer an exciting new frontier in children's literature? Do their political critiques represent conservative or radical ideologies? And finally, are these novels high-minded attempts to educate the young or simply bids to cash in on a formula for commercial success? This collection represents a prismatic and evolving understanding of the genre, illuminating its relevance to children's literature and our wider culture."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aChildren's literature and culture. 606 $aYoung adult fiction, American$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDystopias in literature 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYoung adult fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDystopias in literature. 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a813/.6099283 701 $aBasu$b Balaka$0907909 701 $aBroad$b Katherine R$0907910 701 $aHintz$b Carrie$f1970-$0907911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462564803321 996 $aContemporary dystopian fiction for young adults$92030780 997 $aUNINA
