In \u003ci\u003eThe Latinx Files\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew David Goodwin traces how Latinx science fiction writers are reclaiming the space alien from its xenophobic legacy in the science fiction genre. The book argues that the space alien is a vital Latinx figure preserving Latinx cultures by activating the myriad possible constructions of the space alien to represent race and migration in the popular imagination. The works discussed in this book, including those of H.G. Wells, Gloria Anzaldúa, Junot Diaz, André M. Carrington, and many others, often explicitly reject the derogatory correlation of the space alien and Latinxs, while at other times, they contain space aliens that function as a source of either enlightenment or horror for Latinx communities. Throughout this nuanced analysis, \u003ci\u003eThe Latinx Files \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how the character of the space alien has been significant to Latinx communities and has great potential for future writers and artists. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40947973947489,"sku":"9781978815117","price":59.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/ecb46fba63cf8cedd26ec5b028b978e9.png?v=1692824918","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781978815117-the-latinx-files","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
