The Peter Lang Companion to Latin American Science Fiction provides
a comprehensive overview of science fiction in Latin America by
addressing the history and criticism of the genre in the region. It
not only maps the cornerstones of the field (books, comics,
magazines, movies) but also studies the specific political, social
and cultural concerns that gave rise to its distinctive patterns
and ideas. This volume organizes and systematizes the state of the
field. In this sense, the aim of the Companion is to analyze Latin
American science fiction hand in hand with the literature and
culture produced in the rest of the region, providing a proper
context for its historic, cultural and political themes. Taking
into account the complexity of contemporary debates in the field,
the editors have made a point of inviting contributors from a wide
variety of countries to provide the most diverse possible set of
perspectives on the development of science fiction in Latin
America. The volume serves the needs of readers interested in
science fiction at large, either in its original language or in
translation; students trying to understand the genre; and teachers
seeking to address the main issues in the development of the genre
in the region by including current approaches to the material. The
Companion is an indispensable teaching and learning tool, as well
as reference book for critics and interested readers.
