From the beginning, controversies have swirled around the ways in
which both Robert Kirkman's comics and AMC's series of The Walking
Dead represent race, gender, and sexuality. This collection of
essays will be the first to address those controversies in a
sustained way. Critics and fans have protested that identity
politics in The Walking Dead have veered toward the decidedly
conservative, offering up traditional understandings of
masculinity, femininity, heterosexuality, racial hierarchy, and
white supremacy. And while some critics acknowledge that the series
has undeniably evolved toward less conventional representations,
there is still much more to be said. All of the essays in our
collection explore the complicated nature of relationships among
the survivors as they adapt to the conditions of a new world-and,
in the end, characters demonstrate often surprising permutations of
identity, consistently serving to comment on identity politics in
our own world. While individual chapters in this collection
sometimes agree and sometimes disagree with the critics of The
Walking Dead, together they offer a rich view of how gender, race,
class, and sexuality intersect in complex new ways in the TV series
and the comics.
