Reading, these novels suggest, is neither an unalloyed good nor a dangerous ploy, but rather an essential, occasionally fraught, by turns escapist and instrumental, deeply pleasurable, and highly contentious activity that has value far beyond the classroom skills or the specific content it conveys. After an introductory chapter that examines the state of reading and young adult fiction today, the book examines novels that depict reading in school, gendered and racialized reading, reading magical and religious books, and reading as a means to developing civic agency. These examinations reveal that books for teens depict teen readers as doers, and suggest that their ability to read deeply, critically, and communally is crucial to the development of adolescent agency. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Young Adult fiction; Literacy; Education; #WeNeedDiverseBooks; Citizenship | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-53924-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-53924-3Series ISSN 2753-0825 Series E-ISSN 2753-0833 | issn_series | 2753-0825 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
