Angebote / Angebote:

From its beginnings, science fiction has experimented with imperialistic scenarios of alien invasion, extraterrestrial exploitation, xenophobia, and colonial conquest. In "Science Fiction and Empire, " Patricia Kerslake brings contemporary thinking about postcolonialism and imperialism to bear on a variety of classic sci-fi novels and films, including "The War of the Worlds, " Stanislaw Lem's "Solaris, " "and "Star Wars." The first book to identify the consequences of empire in science fiction, Kerslake's study is a compelling investigation of the political ramifications of how we imagine our future. "Science Fiction and Empire" is thought-provoking and insightful, . . . the kind of large-scale postcolonial work that science fiction has needed for quite some time."--"Science Fiction Studies
