Speculative Whiteness: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right: Forerunners: Ideas First
Autor Jordan S. Carrollen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2024
Fascists such as Richard Spencer interpret science fiction films and literature as saying only white men have the imagination required to invent a high-tech future. Other white nationalists envision racist utopias filled with Aryan supermen and all-white space colonies. Speculative Whiteness traces these ideas through 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.

Recenzii
"In tracing the alt-right’s long-standing interests in sf and speculative literature, Carroll demonstrates how the alt-right interprets and deploys these narratives to signal the inevitability of a fascist future."—Science Fiction Studies
"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
"A small book with a mighty punch."—Choice Magazine
"The book is an important chronicle documenting the past decade or so of right wing extremism at the level of aesthetics and political ontology, and there is nothing else quite like it."—De Facto Podcast
"[For] those who consider the world of culture as less meaningful and important than realpolitik, drawing connections between science fiction and the far right may seem frivolous at best. Carroll’s engaging and concise book, however, convincingly dispels such misgivings by showing how science fiction offers a unique window into the inner workings of key far-right thinkers, both past and present."—Ethnic and Racial Studies
"What makes Speculative Whiteness. . .by Jordan S. Carroll such a compelling study is its demonstration that the connection between the alt-right—arguably the dominant political force in the US and perhaps globally—and certain strands of science fiction is far from superficial."—Critical Inquiry
"Speculative Whiteness provides a chilling analysis of what the worst people want to do to us, now and tomorrow. Armed with that knowledge, we can, perhaps, chart a path to different and better stars."—New Humanist
"Carroll’s readings are potent and useful to critics working on the fantastic."—Studies in the Fantastic
"Carroll reminds his reader not to dismiss the resonances of colonialism and masculinist dominance present in sf; it is important to understand speculative whiteness in the hopes that we might soundly dislodge it."—Science Fiction Film and Television
"Carroll’s efforts here have resulted in a compelling and highly recommended read."—MELUS
"Due to its brevity and approachable language, [Speculative Whiteness] will be of interest to students of literature, political sciences, and film, as well as to SF fans and those concerned citizens who might want to better understand the interplay of culture and politics."—Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research
