| مستخلص: | Our criticism and evaluation of young adult literature is tempered not only by the scope of our knowledge of adolescent literature in general, but also by our notions of adolescence, itself. Adolescent literature that, in Michael Cart's terminology, "shatters the shibboleths" of adolescence and adolescent culture, has the potential to re-shape the paradigms that delineate teen culture. Catherine Atkins' "When Jeff Comes Home" is an example of such revolutionary YA fiction. With "When Jeff Comes Home," Atkins not only re-writes and redefines the rape novel for young people, she re-casts the victim role with society's anti-victim--the able-bodied, athletic, upper middle class white male. |
