(Anthropological Linguistics, 54/1: 97-100) This book is of interest to anyone concerned with identity formation, space, and the nation, and sets an important methodological example for how to study the role of language practices in demarcating space.” Sheri Gibbings, WilfrId Laurier University. For those interested in tracing the role of language in on–the–ground processes of ethnic identification in a situation of diversity, however, the book is well worth the effort.” Nancy Smith-Hefner, Boston University. Goebel notes in the book's preface that his work is not an easy read …. A strength of Goebel's approach is his effort to take into account historical perspectives captured in language ideologies….For those interested in considering broader sociological patterns Goebel's meticulous data are a rich and exciting resource….

“Goebel's book is a carefully crafted examination of how talk mediates social relations in the context of ethnic diversity…. As such, it is an articulation of a desire to safe- guard the existence of a linguistic authority. The author demonstrates that this concern arises against the backdrop of a socio-political climate in which the state, having long exerted control over language use and language development, gradually ceases to be perceived as the sole authority on language.

The negative reaction is also an assertion of an idealized view of literature, which holds that the function of adolescent fiction is to educate readers on the aesthetic function of language and sound moral values. It seeks to show that hostility towards teenlit reflects a concern for the maintenance of standard Indonesian as the language of literature amid a rapidly changing language situation in which a major colloquial variety of Indonesian has been gaining prominence and encroaching on domains prescriptively associated with the standard variety, such as written literature. This article ex- amines a representative example of such criticisms as a platform for discussing the relationship between the relatively new genre of adolescent literature and the wider context of language change. Mean- while, hostile critics consider it as nothing more than light fiction containing questionable moral values, written in an unacceptable style. Sympathetic literary critics view young people’s attraction to it as a positive process towards the development of a healthy reading and writing habit.

Its rapid rise has invited both favourable and hostile reactions from observ- ers. Teenlit,a genre of popular literature for adolescents, was introduced to Indonesia around the beginning of the last decade and almost immediately attracted a large readership consisting predominantly of female adolescents.
