Bodyminds Reimagined: (dis)Ability, Race, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction by Sami Schalk

5.0

Really fascinating overview of black women's speculative fiction and how it deals with (dis)ability race and gender--hmm, I just rewrote the title. I can just say it's exactly what it says on the tin, but I had never thought this much or this deeply about that tin. The author looks at the work of many authors and really challenged the reader to think about different ways to interpret and think about their stories--which is one of the best things sci-fi and fantasy can do. Not only do I want to read more by Schalk, but I now also have a list of books she talked about to read.
