If there is one trend in children's and YA literature that seems to
be enjoying a steady rise in popularity, it is the expansion of the
YA dystopian genre. While the genre has been lauded for its
potential to expand horizons, promote critical thinking, and foster
social awareness and activism, it has also come under scrutiny for
its promotion of specific ideologies and its often sensationalist
approach to real-world problems. In an examination of six YA
dystopian texts spanning more than twenty years of development of
the genre, this book explores the way in which posthumanist
ideologies in particular are deployed or resisted in these texts as
a means of making sense of the specific challenges which young
people confront in the twenty-first century.
