In Biofictions, Josie Gill compellingly demonstrates the importance of works of fiction engaging race and genomics in manifesting the continuing confusion of fact and fiction concerning race as well as of literary critical approaches to cultural narratives of race. Her astute readings offer insight into how racism creates the conditions that produce race as a biological category justifying social and political hierarchies-a biofiction, as she puts it--and how works of fiction challenge as they expose this process and how they imagine alternatives. The work of one of the foremost theorists of science and literature, Biofictions illustrates the importance of our cultural forms and our cultural critics in challenging the constantly mutating forms of racism that characterize contemporary life. * Priscilla Wald, Professor of English, Duke University, USA, author of Contagious: Cultures, Carriers, and the Outbreak Narrative *
