This groundbreaking text provides practical, contextualized methods
for teaching and discussing topics that are considered "taboo" in
the classroom in ways that support students' lived experiences. In
times when teachers are scapegoated for adopting culturally
sustaining teaching practices and are pressured to "whitewash" the
curriculum, it becomes more challenging to create an environment
where students and teachers can have conversations about complex,
uncomfortable topics in the classroom. With contributions from
scholars and K-12 teachers who have used young adult literature to
engage with their students, chapters confront this issue and focus
on themes such as multilingualism, culturally responsive teaching,
dis/ability, racism, linguicism, and gender identity. Using
approaches grounded in socioemotional learning, trauma-informed
practices, and historical and racial literacy, this text explores
the ways in which books with complicated themes can interact
positively with students' own lives and perspectives. Ideal for
courses on ELA and literature instruction, this book provides a
fresh set of perspectives and methods for approaching and engaging
with difficult topics. As young adult literature that addresses
difficult subjects is more liable to be considered "controversial"
to teach, teachers will benefit from the additional guidance this
volume provides, so that they can effectively reach the very
students these themes address.
