Why is it a teen book? O didn’t work and the premise sounds weak here.

It’s middle school! They are 12. Ridiculous. I find their thoughts and reactions inauthentic and side eye their sexualization. Granted, I had a sheltered upbringing, so perhaps that is affecting what I perceive as inauthenticity. And the way race is handled...oof.

OMG, not middle school. That seems really problematic in so many ways. Is this a Hogarth Shax title?

Yes, it is. I’m puzzled by the author choice, along with other decisions regarding New Boy.

Oy vey. One thing Learn from Twitter is it there are almost no POC writers of young adult fiction

Curious as to what makes a book YA: intended audience, setting/plot/character ages, all of the above? Have to do some research. Taught Shylock Is My Name.
@gwayvt described it well. Even with its issues, it worked well in the classroom. Plan on reading Hagseed next.3 vastausta 0 uudelleentwiittausta 4 tykkäystä -
What course was this for?

Shakes and race course. For each text we read historical documents, the Shakes play, a modern adaptation, and watched a performance. Plus theory and articles. I wanted students to interrogate the overlaps and fissures regarding how race was imagined then and now. We read you!

That sounds like an awesome course, especially because you read me ;)

This does sound like a great course! I taught Merchant and Shylock is My Name in my Digital Renaissance senior capstone, thinking about it in terms of how fanfiction and digital fan objects interacted with the play and the overlaps and tensions between adaptation and fan studies.
