Reviews

""Black Aliens is an astounding study of race, agency, and identity. Davis-McElligatt eloquently and thoroughly argues for the redefining of the term 'alien' to reflect the expansiveness and possibilities of Black experiences, Black bodies, and Black culture into outer space and beyond.""--Regina N. Bradley, author of Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South ""From the surprising conceptualization of history as another planet to her analysis of m/othering through connections between Octavia Butler and Connie Samaras's art exhibition and catalogue, Davis-McElligatt not only demonstrates a robust research and archival process but makes brilliant use of those pieces through creative juxtaposition and original theorization."" --Vincent Haddad, author of The Detroit Genre: Race, Dispossession, and Resilience in American Literature and Film, 1967-2023
