SPECULATIVE WHITENESS virtual event with the Reactionary Politics Research Network and Jordan S. Carroll
January 20 @ 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm CST
Jordan S. Carroll will join the Reactionary Politics Research Network on Monday, January 20, for a virtual talk on his new book Speculative Whiteness: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right, at 1:30 p.m. CST.
This event is free and open to the public.
Speculative Whiteness traces the entangled histories of science fiction culture and white supremacist politics, showing that debates about representation in science fiction films and literature are struggles over who has the right to imagine and inhabit the future. Although fascists insist that tomorrow belongs to them, they have always been and will continue to be contested by antifascist fans willing to fight for the future.
“Carroll reminds us that our future is contingent. Fascists have a vision for the future that excludes most of humanity, but fascists can be defeated. The future is for everyone—if we make it that way.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
