Race in Young Adult Speculative Fiction

Beschreibung

Offers a sustained analysis of race and representation in young adult speculative fiction (YASF). The collection considers how characters of colour are represented in YASF, how they participate in speculative worlds, how race affects or influences the structures of speculative worlds, and how race and racial ideologies are implicated in YASF.
