In The Latinx Files, Matthew David Goodwin traces how Latinx
science fiction writers are reclaiming the space alien from its
xenophobic legacy in the science fiction genre. The book argues
that the space alien is a vital Latinx figure preserving Latinx
cultures by activating the myriad possible constructions of the
space alien to represent race and migration in the popular
imagination. The works discussed in this book, including those of
H.G. Wells, Gloria Anzaldúa, Junot Diaz, André M. Carrington, and
many others, often explicitly reject the derogatory correlation of
the space alien and Latinxs, while at other times, they contain
space aliens that function as a source of either enlightenment or
horror for Latinx communities. Throughout this nuanced analysis,
The Latinx Files demonstrates how the character of the space alien
has been significant to Latinx communities and has great potential
for future writers and artists. Â
