Annotation:
	Contends that Chloe Gong’s young adult adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, These Violent Delights (q.v.), "exemplifies ... anticolonial, antiracist writing back as it entertainingly weaves postcolonial concepts into its dramatic narrative and structure." Shows how Gong's novel encourages students and readers to draw on Shakespeare to reflect on current events.
