摘要

《母亲与杀人犯》真正让我印象深刻的是，它既是一本参考书，也是对青少年反乌托邦文学中与年龄相关的权力关系进行了充分论证的分析。通过文献综述，突出杀手和母亲主题的结构化图表，与这些主题相关的意识形态要点的章节，以及清晰的教学理念，本书为青少年反乌托邦的学者和教师提供了丰富的工具。关于课程理念，Alkestrand指出“在其他YA反乌托邦作品中使用相同或类似的任务是可能的”(238)，强调了这些提示的可转移性。《母亲与杀人犯》以其堪称典范的组织和对青少年反乌托邦文学的全面报道，为这一流行流派的学术研究增添了一份精彩。

Harry Potter and the Other: Race, Justice, and Difference in the Wizarding World ed. by Sarah Park Dahlen and Ebony Elizabeth Thomas (review)

What truly stood out to me with Mothers and Murderers is its utility as a reference book as well as a well-argued analysis about age-related power relationships in YA dystopian literature. With literature reviews, structured charts that highlight the killer and mother motifs, sections on ideological takeaways related to these motifs, and clear teaching ideas, this book offers a wealth of tools to the scholar and teacher of YA dystopias. Regarding the lesson ideas, Alkestrand notes that “it is possible to use the same or similar tasks for other YA dystopian works” (238), emphasizing the transferability of these prompts. With its exemplary organization and thorough coverage of YA dystopian literature, Mothers and Murderers is a wonderful addition to the corpus of scholarship on this popular genre.
