Rites of Passage, Liminality, and Community in Octavia E. Butler's
Science Fiction Novels explores the ways in which Octavia Butler's
liminal protagonists undergo ritualized transformations while in
exile from their home communities. During this process, they engage
in psychological, physical, political, and social transitions
through what Victor Turner and Makhail Bakhtin describe as
carnivalesque identities. Using postcolonial, feminist,
anti-capitalist, and African American theorists, Lin Knutson
examines how Butler's imagined genesis and history carry echoes of
American history, slave history, debt slavery, and colonization.
