Displaced fictions : contemporary Australian books for teenagers and young adults Heather Scutter Published by Melbourne University Press (1999) |
Book description
Heather Scutter stresses the importance of educating critical readers, alert to the ways in which
ideas and values are constructed. In Displaced Fictions she offers a new, challenging and
iconoclastic analysis of contemporary Australian books for teenagers and young adults. Her lively
and provocative text looks at the work of such writers as Gary Crew, Gillian Rubinstein, Nadia
Wheatley, Isobelle Carmody, Paul Jennings, John Marsden, Morris Gleitzman and Sonya Hartnett.
This passionate, humorous and - above all - committed book demonstrates the pressing need for
greater scrutiny of the politics of young adult fiction. Displaced Fictions makes compelling reading
for all parents, students, teachers, librarians and general readers.
