- Double-weighted statement
- This 86,000-word monograph examines and brings together theories from critical race studies, literary studies, science and technology studies and genetic science, as it considers constructions of race across a range of contemporary British and American fiction, popular science writing and other cultural production. While focusing on the contemporary, the book also examines scientific developments from the nineteenth century onwards and is therefore transhistorical, as well as transnational, in scope. It closely engages with recent scientific findings on race, including in the burgeoning field of epigenetics, and contributes to scholarly debates around decolonization, critique and interdisciplinarity.
