Excellent history, like excellent speculative fiction, should cause readers to reconsider crucial aspects of their society that they normally overlook or lead them to reflect on radically different forms of social organization. Drawing on GunloÌg Fur's postcolonial concept of concurrences, and with contributions that explore diverse examples of speculative fiction and historical encounters using a variety of disciplinary approaches, this volume provides new perspectives on colonialism, ecological destruction, the nature of humanity, and how to envision a better future." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Speculative fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Future, The, in literature. 700 1 $a Hennessey, John L., $d 1986- $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031422355 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6860602084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
