"Chude-Sokei highights the way cultural creolization has the power
to move beyond the oppositions between human and sub-human that
were the correlates of slavery and western colonization, to form
the basis of a new concept of humanness."--Graham Douglas "The
Prisma" (5/23/2016 12:00:00 AM)
"In this exciting new book, Chude-Sokei details the relationships
between science fiction, African slavery, industrialization and
technological innovation. Chude-Sokei shows how the construction of
the Negro as a 'nature', but rebellious, servant was applied to
burgeoning industrialization through detailed analysis of writers
such as Herman Melville, Mary Shelley and Samuel Butler."--Paul
Grant "Race & Class" (1/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)
