Book Description:

Susana Loza’s Speculative Imperialisms: Monstrosity and Masquerade in Postracial Times is a much needed and cutting edge critical intervention in monster studies, speculative fiction, and critical ethnic studies. Contextualized within cultural and political histories, it offers timely and intersectionally nuanced readings of popular culture that persuasively lead us to this contemporary moment in which white supremacy and imperialism have boiled over in increasingly dangerous ways. Loza’s text illuminates the intricate and shifting relations of power that underlie so-called benign postracial monsters. (Bernadette Marie Calafell, University of Denver)
