| Abstract | Purpose: Recognizing that hate crimes and antisemitic attacks are increasing, the purpose of this article is to discuss ways "The Assignment" by Liza Wiemer, a contemporary young adult novel that depicts curriculum violence and its effects on students, acts as a "disruptor" in young adult literature. The authors present a rationale for using young adult literature on The Holocaust in high school classrooms to challenge the status quo and identify ways to become upstanders in the face of hate. Design/methodology/approach: Through a content analysis using a critical literacy framework, the authors analyzed "The Assignment" for pedagogical ways to use the novel to challenge educators and students to examine and rethink how they feel about hate, bias and antisemitism. Findings: Four ways the novel can be used as a disrupter were identified--text structure and language, pedagogical practices and curriculum violence, the student/peer/authority figure power dynamic and challenging accepted beliefs that can lead to bias, hate and antisemitism. Practical implications: Although all individuals can be impacted by hate and antisemitism, this article focuses on young adults as they are the novel's target audience. However, the authors believe people of all ages have the potential to disrupt societal practices and become upstanders and suggest ideas in this article be applied broadly to other novels and teaching situations. Originality/value: A focus is on the ways the novel can build a community of allies and upstanders -- students as agents of change rather than complacent bystanders. As bias, hate and antisemitism are on the rise, this article presents a unique way to combat it through literature and critical discussion. (As Provided). |
