ISBN: 9781988963686
Collection of essays analyzing the various manifestations of racism in Gothic narratives: literature, film, TV, architecture. Essays range from traditional topics and interpretations of Gothic as vehicle for racism to Gothic as subversion and resistance to white, heteronormative privilege.
The perception of the Other has changed while a predilection for othering has endured. Our primary goal with this collection of essays is to contribute to the nascent field of Postcolonial Gothic Studies, understood binomially as a postcolonial version of “Gothic studies” and as the study of “postcolonial Gothic.”
Our books are made for the college classroom. They have beautiful covers and layout, to entice students to read. The margins are slightly bigger, so students can take discreet notes. The paper, the fonts, the spacing between the lines create a flowing rhythm and encourage reading.
- Strong editorial matter: introductions and annotations that are reflective of current scholarship as well as editorial practices;
- Useful apparatus in our In the classroom series that guide instructors and students through the most important aspects of the period, author’s life, publications;
- Monographs and collections of essays that engage with issues upfront and that offer ways to understand the world, be it the past or the present.
