Young Adult literature, from The Outsiders to Harry Potter, has helped shape the cultural
landscape for adolescents perhaps more than any other form of consumable media in
the twentieth and twenty-first century. With the rise of mega blockbuster films based
on these books in recent years, the young adult genre is being co-opted by curious
adult readers and by Hollywood producers. However, while the genre may be getting
more readers than ever before, Young Adult literature remains exclusionary and problematic:
few titles feature historically marginalized individuals, the books present heteronormative
perspectives, and gender stereotypes continue to persist. Taking a critical approach,
Young Adult Literature: Challenging Genres offers educators, youth librarians, and
students a set of strategies for unpacking, challenging, and transforming the assumptions
of some of the genre's most popular titles. Pushing the genre forward, Antero Garcia
builds on his experiences as a former high school teacher to offer strategies for
integrating Young Adult literature in a contemporary critical pedagogy through the
use of participatory media
