Description
Self-Determined Stories: The Indigenous Reinvention of Young Adult Literature by Mandy Suhr-Sytsma explores the vital challenge to stereotypes and rich intellectual resource for theorizing Indigenous sovereignty in the contemporary era. This book delves into close readings of Indigenous-authored YA works, including school stories and speculative fiction, to reveal a unique Indigenous YA genre. Suhr-Sytsma argues that this genre radically revises typical YA conventions, offering a fresh portrayal of Indigenous self-determination and critique of multiculturalism, heteropatriarchy, and hybridity.
