Drawing on autobiographical, biographical, historical, and rare
archival materials, author Micheal Pounds explores the relationship
between "Star Trek" and ethnic equality, one of America's most
enduring social issues. Using two television series formed around a
common vision and produced by the same studio and executive
producer (Gene Roddenberry), Race in Space determines the extent to
which social attitudes, values, and beliefs about ethnicity have
changed during the more than twenty years that separate them. The
book begins by examining the history of American television, both
as a business and a social institution faced with confronting the
civil rights movement-centered demands for reform of employment and
images of the African-American. The second half of the book
analyzes the principal recurring characters in each "Star Trek"
series and their relationships with other characters, as well as
the specific racial themes of certain episodes, and how these
episodes represent ethnicity and cultural attitudes both as part of
the series, in the contemporary world, and in the larger vision of
the future that the series portrays.
