{"product_id":"9780253005137","title":"Race in American Science Fiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eNoting that science fiction is characterized by an investment in the\u003cbr\u003e proliferation of racial difference, Isiah Lavender III argues that racial alterity\u003cbr\u003e is fundamental to the genre's narrative strategy. Race in American Science Fiction\u003cbr\u003e offers a systematic classification of ways that race appears and how it is silenced\u003cbr\u003e in science fiction, while developing a critical vocabulary designed to focus\u003cbr\u003e attention on often-overlooked racial implications. These focused readings of science\u003cbr\u003e fiction contextualize race within the genre's better-known master narratives and\u003cbr\u003e agendas. Authors discussed include Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and\u003cbr\u003e Ursula K. Le Guin, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080679866608,"sku":"9780253005137","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253005137_p0.jpg?v=1769913984","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253005137","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
