Abstract
This article traces the increasing participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors and Muslim-Australian authors in the Australian young adult fiction market. Using bibliographical data drawn from the AustLit database, the article first outlines the general parameters of young adult publishing in Australia since the 1990s, before specifically examining the works produced by Indigenous Australian and MuslimAustralian authors. These two groups share a significant characteristic: although they are often at the forefront of current Australian public discourse, they are more often the object of such speech than the speaking subject. This article examines the extent to which young adult fiction provides a platform for these authors.
