Jeunesse: Call for Reviewers - Single Anthology/Monograph Reviews

 **Apologies for cross-posting**

Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures seeks reviews of the following titles.

Please send expressions of interest along with a brief statement of disciplinary affiliations and relevant research to jeunesse (at) uwinnipeg (dot) ca with the subject line “Book Review Proposal.” If you would like to propose a book for review, please send an email with the author, title, and publisher of the book along with suggested reviewers.

Jeunesse publishes standard academic reviews of a single monograph or anthology in the 1500-2000 word range.

A standard academic review should a) provide a succinct summary of the book, b) a sense of how it is styled and structured, c) a critical assessment, and d) a statement about its value as a resource for scholars working in young people’s texts and cultures. Authors should keep in mind the objective of a scholarly review, namely: to offer the journal’s readers a sense of what the book is about, how its author explores the topic, to what extent it is a meaningful contribution to the field of young people’s texts and cultures, and to whom it might be useful.
