Editorial Reviews
Review
‘Smith’s remarkable fluency in the areas of postcolonial studies and theories of globalization and his ability to integrate the complex political-economic and philosophical discourses of his theoretical texts with provocative, insightful close readings of the fictional texts are equally impressive. This intelligent, imaginative, and sophisticated book will be an important and influential contribution to postcolonial studies, science fiction studies, contemporary literature studies, and cultural studies.’ – Professor John Rieder, University of Hawai’i at M?noa, USA
