\"Fantasy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although YA fiction by such authors as S. E. Hinton<\/strong> or Judy Blume<\/strong> was originally aimed at teens, many of its readers were adults! The genre exploded with J.K. Rowling\u2019s<\/a> Harry Potter (1997, UK), Stephanie Meyer\u2019s Twilight (2005, US) <\/strong>and Suzanne Collins\u2019 The Hunger Games (2008, US)<\/strong>, often addressing questions of identity, friendship and love but also discrimination and death. Today protagonists aren\u2019t always male whites but also female, migrants, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Writing about marginalised communities and taboos can sadly come at a cost, though: authors have faced abuse, boycotts and even death threats. Sales in YA temporarily dropped both in the US and the UK but YA authors still continue to serve as public voices of social criticism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children of Blood and Bone,\nTomi Adeyemi (2018)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Afrofuturism is an upcoming genre that might be defined as imagining a new and positive future in the arts and sciences for a black community. At its roots are African traditions and myths that inspire self-confident black leaders. In the footsteps of Octavia E. Butler<\/strong> and W.E.B Du Bois<\/strong>, or today also Nnedi Okorafor<\/strong>, Tomi Adeyemi<\/strong>\u2019s debut novel Children of Blood and Bone <\/strong>came out in 2018. Set in a magical world, West Africa\u2019s power struggles shine through all the way. Crossfire<\/strong>, the final volume of the Noughts and Crosses series<\/strong> by British writer Malorie Blackman <\/strong>features a society where the roles of black and white are switched. The Black Lives Matter Movement is at the heart of Angie Thomas\u2019 The Hate U Give<\/strong>, with her new novel On the Come Up<\/strong> in stores as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
