ISBN II 8 I-1 I209s it ISSN Hi:SI-474o About the NCTE Bibliography Series The National Council of Teachers of English isproud to he part of a process that we feel is important. It begins when an educatorwho knows literature and its value to students and teachers is chosen by theNCTE Executise Committee to he a hooklist editor. That editor thenworks with teachers and librarians who rev iew. select, and annotate hundredsof new trade boiks sent to them by pub- lishers. It's a complicated process. one that can last three orfour years. But be- cause of their dedication and strongbelief in the need to let others know about the good literature that's available, these professionalsvolunteer their time in a way that serves as an inspiration toall of us. The members of the committee that compiled this volume are listed on one of the first pages.and we are grate- ful for their hard work. In our bibliography series are live different hooklists.each focused on a par- ticular audience, each updated regularly. These areAthvnturing with Books (pre- K through grade 6). Kaleidoscope (multiculturalliterature. grades K through 8). lino. Reading (middle school/junior high). BooksJOr Km (senior high), and High InterestEasy Reading (middle school, junior/seniorhigh reluctant read- ers). Together. these volumes list thousandsof the most recent children's and young adult trade books. Althoughthe works included cover a sv ide range of topics. they all have one thing in common:they're good hooks that students and teachers alike enjoy. Of course, no single book is right for es ery one or every purpose. soinclu- sion in this booklist is not necessarily an endorsementfrom NCTE. However. it does indicate that the professionals who make upthe hooklist committee feel that the work in question is worthy of teachers'and students' attention, whether for its intormatise or aesthetic qualities. On theother hand, exclusion from an NCTE hooklist is not necessarily a judgment on thequality of a gis en hook or publisher. Many factorsspace. time. availabilityof certain hooks, publisher participationmay' influence the final shape of the list. We hope that you will find this hooklist a useful resourcein discovering new titles and authors, and we hope that you will collectthe other hooklists in the NCTE series. Our mission is to help improve the teachingand learning of En- glish and the language arts, and V% e feel the qualityof our hooklists contributes substantially toward that goal. We think y ou w ill agree. Dawn Boyer Director ot Acquisitions and Des elopment inPublications National Council of Teacheis of English Contents Mlle to the Reader ix I.Adventure 2.

A recent surv ey of teenagers ( Mellon 1990) show s theyread in their spare time for two main reasons: entertainment and information.One young man said. "I like reading science fiction and mystery. because you neverknow what's going to happen." Some said reading "takes you toother places ...helps you to solve read for infor- problems ...makes you feel better when you are sad." Others mation when they are interested in satisfying their curiosity'. Many. teenage readers rely on the recommendationsof friends Vs. hen choos- ing what books to read. In addition to your friends. you can useHigh hilere.si bISReatibil: as a reference to find good hooks to read.Here are books. both fiction and nonfiction, published in the years 1993 and1994. Publishers sent books to our committee, and we selected books ofhigh interest to teen readers. Each book was read by two or more committeemembers, who then wrote a short annotation describing the hook. We have arrairted these threehundred tities into nineteen chapters, each indicating a central idea ortheme, such as "Adventure." "Dealing with Death." "Sports." and "Science."The chapter titled "Iues of Our Time" includes hooks that consider such Lontroversialsubjects as violence, bigotry. and child abuse. You w ill also lind"Fantasy" and "My stery.- books lhout famous people. "How -to Books," and many more. Within each chapter. entries are arranged alphabeticallyby the author's name ( or by. title in the few cases ofbooks listing no author) and also include the title, the publisher and year of publication.

Interested parties may contact the editors. Anoma Pieris University of Melbourne SOCIOSPATIAL GENEALOGIES OF WARTIME IMPOVERISHMENT: TEMPORARY FARM LABOUR CAMPS IN THE U.S.A. Established to develop New Deal resettlement programs in 1937, the United States Farm Security Administration (F.S.A.) was best known for accommodating migratory labour from the drought-stricken central plains. Large numbers arriving in California prompted F.S.A. engineers and architects to develop purpose-designed labour camps and townships, described as early exemplars of community planning. Yet in 1942, when 118,803 Japanese and Japanese Americans were evacuated from the newly created Military Exclusion Zones and incarcerated in relocation centres, F.S.A. skills were put to a different use. This paper demonstrates how wartime exigency, racist immigration policies and militarisation transformed a model for relief and rehabilitation into a carceral equivalent. It contextualises this transformation within a socio-spatial genealogy of temporary facilities that accommodated mass human displacements – including two examples from California: the Tulare County F.S.A.
