Book Recommendation
Your task is to search for a postcolonial young adult novel that is not on our required reading or book club lists. You will create a presentation in which you explain the following:
· The book’s essential plot line
· Postcolonial themes addressed
· Bildungsroman elements addressed (or disregarded)
· Historical and cultural history surrounding your novel
· Appropriateness for middle or high school students
· An explanation for your recommendation of this novel
A good starting point in this search is to consult the texts discussed in our secondary readings. Another idea is to seek other novels written by the authors of our primary texts.
You must meet with me to discuss your book selection prior to the semester’s midpoint.
