Social Issues in Young Adult Literature

The involvement of social issues in young adult literature is not a dangerous signal in modern society. Neo-realism first took place in the 1960s and 1970s, which led to the evolution of the appropriateness of social problems in young adult literature genres. In the wolf of Francesca Lia Block, the author detailed the contraindications of sexual violence and sexual abuse in the family and combined it with the concept of self-development of women and age fitness of young adult young adult literature. In the wolf of Francesca Lia Block, an unknown young hero and heroine ran away to her grandmother 's house after being sexually assaulted by her mother' s boyfriend.

As we know today, Young Adult Literature is a constantly evolving movement, consistent with the evolution of the concept of Young Adults themselves. It depends on the obvious fact that it is impossible to have a young adult literature before "young people" until the new names emerge from the late 1930s to the early 1940s. American youth culture for "children" This word was first published in "Science Monthly" magazine published in September 1941. In the early days, there were usually only two people in the United States: adults and children (the latter occasionally even adults entered the adulthood when entering the labor market, sometimes even 10 years old). However, in the 1930s and 1940s, a record number of young people began to go to high school due to the depletion of the employment market during the Great Depression. In 1939, 75% of children between the ages of 14 and 17 entered high school.

Young adult literature is usually centered on adolescence. However, the publishing industry mainly sells these books to young people, but it is not always possible to read them. Approximately 55% of today's YA readers are adults. To find out why, I consulted with Young Adult Publication President, Professor of Young Adult Literature, Ya and Masthead who loves Green. This is what they said. These books are mature, and we are still mature. "All these YA novels share experiences of the same age," Jennifer Loja, president of Penguin Young Readers, wrote to me by e-mail. The growing novel - the primitive term of a mature story - John Wolfgang Goethe and his contemporaries started writing stories about the young protagonist while marching towards maturity dates back to Germany in the 17th century

Hidden behind adult novels, they are on children's literature, usually on the shelves of young adult books. The category of young adult novel is confused. YA's book does not have a mature theme of adult fiction, but it is looking at emotional and social problems in detail, not children's books. These books confuse librarians and walk on the bookshelf. Both of them are suitable and not suitable. The creation of young adult genres provides a perfect location for these "intermediate" books.
