I don't think the dynamic between oppression-marked history and empowerment in fantasy novels is a straight binary/opposition. Look at Harry Potter indeed, where the set is almost artificially and exaggeratedly putting him in a bad, lacking power situation at first in order for the narrative liberates him from it - sure that's a kid that's male and white etc. but i think that sort of logic can remain when dealing when using narratives from people who were more significantly oppressed in order to portray them in a YA novels (though it's good if that's not all the novels that are out there about them).
