Contemporary Womens Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

Más información sobre el libro

Contemporary women novelists have redefined post-apocalyptic fiction by moving away from traditional themes of nostalgia and restoration prevalent in male-authored works. Instead, they highlight the roles of patriarchy and neo-colonialism in shaping their imagined disasters, while also offering a nuanced vision of hope for societal renewal. The book delves into various themes, including the posthuman body, maternal imagery, and the interplay of science and nature, addressing diverse issues related to nationality, race, and gender through the lens of multiple writers.
