Meer over het boek

Focusing on the interplay of gender and race within American science fiction from the 19th century to today, this book examines how the genre reflects and challenges societal norms. It defines science fiction both linguistically and culturally, revealing its role in illuminating and intervening in the histories of gender and race. By arguing for the genre's significance in identity discussions, it contributes to broader fields such as American literature, Whiteness Studies, and critical gender and race studies.
