Reviews
This outstanding collection traces the flows of genre and text outside of white, Anglophone and first worlds - from Zamyatin in the Harlem Renaissance to Glukhovsky in China, from utopian visions of Mexican socialism to fantastical Bengali tales in the era of Nehruvian non-alignment. Now we all have to raise our game. (Mark Bould, University of the West of England, Bristol) Like an unearthed mappa mundi detailing secret trade routes that have been forgotten or ignored, the dazzling essays of Science Fiction Circuits of the South and East suggest an alternative world history of science fiction, revealing stunning connections and opening new vistas for the study of sf and comparative literature. (Istvan Csicsery- Ronay, DePauw University) A groundbreaking anthology that shows how Soviet science fiction inspired rich and diverse speculative storytelling traditions throughout the communist bloc, the Indian subcontinent, China, and even the Americas. A must read for everyone interested in the history of global science fiction. (Lisa Yaszek, Georgia Institute of Technology)
