Reviews

A brilliant cartography of the zombie film, elegantly crafted, theoretically informed and ambitious in its transnational sweep and decolonial focus. --Cynthia Steele author of Politics, Gender, and the Mexican Novel, 1968-1988 A fascinating and rigorous study that invites us to analyze our dreams and fears, the contemporary effects of global power and coloniality, necropolitics, today's structures of oppression, and certainly the very essence of our own humanity. Patricia Saldarriaga and Emy Manini have written a book on zombies that will stand the test of time; their reading decolonizes and queers identity, the present, the future, horror fiction, and most definitely: our understanding of history. --Oswaldo Estrada author of Troubled Memories: Iconic Mexican Women and the Traps of Representation
