Description

Explore the complex relationship between racial identity and science fiction in this scholarly work from Routledge. While many scholars have overlooked the links between these two fields, this book examines how racial identity functions as a core element of subjectivity within American science fiction. Through detailed analysis, the text looks at how different authors approached these themes. It examines Edgar Rice Burroughs and his Mars series, noting his use of essentialist constructions of racial identity alongside elements of racial egalitarianism. The book also provides a comparison with George S. Schuyler, who wrote in the 1930s to challenge the standard science fiction triangle of white authors, white audiences, and white protagonists. By promoting an individualistic and variable concept of race, Schuyler offered a different perspective on the genre. This book is an essential resource for those studying literary criticism, cultural theory, and the history of American science fiction.
