Altermundos: Latin@ Speculative Literature, Film, and Popular Culture Paperback
by Cathryn Josefina Merla-Watson (Editor), B. V. Olguin (Editor) – December 11, 2016

Speculative fiction encompassing both science fiction and fantasy has emerged as a dynamic field within Chicanao and Latinao studies, producing new critical vocabularies and approaches to topics that include colonialism and modernity, immigration and globalization, race and gender. As the first collection engaging Chicanao and Latina/o speculative cultural production, Altermundos: Latin@ Speculative Literature, Film, and Popular Culture provides a comprehensive alternative to the view of speculative fiction as a largely white, male, Eurocentric, and heteronormative genre. It features original essays from more than twenty five scholars as well as interviews, manifestos, short fiction, and new works from Chicanao and Latina/o artists.
