Joss Whedon and Race: Critical Essays SC (2016 McFarland) comic books 1938 or later

1st printing. Edited by Mary Ellen Iatropoulos and Lowery A. Woodall III. Joss Whedon is known for exploring philosophical questions through socially progressive narratives in his films, television shows and comics. His work critiques racial stereotypes, sometimes repudiating them, sometimes reinvesting in them (sometimes both at once). This collection of new essays explores his representations of racial power dynamics between individuals and institutions and how the Whedonverse constructs race, ethnicity and nationality relationships. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 340 pages, Text Only. Cover price $39.95.
