This book studies American science fiction films depicting
invasions of the USA and Earth by extra- terrestrials within the
context of imperialism from 1950-2020. It shows how such films
imagine America and its allies as objects of colonial control. This
trope enables filmmakers to explore the ethics of American
interventionism abroad either by defending the status quo or by
questioning interventionism. The study shows how these films
comment on American domestic hegemonic practices regarding racial
or gender hierarchies, as well as hegemonic practices abroad.
Beginning with the Cold War consensus in the 1950s, the study shows
how hegemony at home and abroad promotes division in the culture.
