Here are stories that aren't afraid to tackle thorny issues like race, immigration, nationalism, religion, and politics.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScience fiction writers have been using aliens as a metaphor for the other for over one hundred years. Superman has otherworldly origins, and his struggles to blend in on our planet are a clear metaphor for immigration. Earth's adopted son is just one example of this \"Alien Among Us\" narrative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are stories of assimilation, or the failure to do so. Stories of resistance to the forces of naturalization. Stories told from the alien viewpoint. Stories that use aliens as a manifestation of the fears and worries of specific places and eras. Stories that transcend location and time, speaking to universal issues of group identity and its relationship to the Other.
