What is Digital Citizenship in Twenty-First-Century Young Adult Literature: Imaginary Activism (Critical Approaches to Children's Literature) about?

This book is a study of the evolving relationships between literature, cyberspace, and young adults in the twenty-first century. Megan L. Musgrave explores the ways that young adult fiction is becoming a platform for a public conversation about the great benefits and terrible risks of our increasing dependence upon technology in public and private life. Drawing from theories of digital citizenship and posthuman theory, Digital Citizenship in Twenty-First Century Young Adult Literature considers how the imaginary forms of activism depicted in literature can prompt young people to shape their identities and choices as citizens in a digital culture ** Review “This book is a timely contribution to current scholarly debates about the ideological representation of digital technology in YA fiction. Musgrave argues that a comprehensive critical discourse has emerged in recent years in response to YA science fiction and dystopian fiction, but realism has largely been ignored. This book redresses this situation. Musgrave shows that digital media is reality for young people, evaluating how digital media can both enhance human experience and render it dysfunctional.” (Victoria Flanagan, Sen
