In particular, \u003ci\u003eItalian Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon critical race studies, postcolonial theory, and feminist studies to explore how migration, colonialism, multiculturalism, and racism have been represented in genre film and literature. Topics include the role of science fiction in constructing a national identity; the representation and self-representation of \"alien\" immigrants in Italy; the creation of internal \"Others,\" such as southerners and Roma; the intersections of gender and race discrimination; and Italian science fiction's transnational dialogue with foreign science fiction. This book reveals that though it is arguably a minor genre in Italy, science fiction offers an innovative interpretive angle for rethinking Italian history and imagining future change in Italian society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Brioni,Daniele Comberiati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303019325X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030193256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Simone Brioni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089053364479,"sku":"9783030193256","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_943bd837-2d1f-42a4-bbfe-364795760615.jpg?v=1769107936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-science-fiction-simone-brioni-9783030193256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
