Description: Through critical analyses of experiences of women of color in the academy, the media framing of alleged Aurora shooter James Holmes, the use of monstrosity in unpublished work from the Gloria Anzaldúa archives, post-feminist discourses and Kanye West's strategic employment of ideologies of monstrosity, this book offers new ways to think about Otherness in this contemporary moment.
Review Quotes: This book represents truly outstanding and groundbreaking scholarship. By interweaving popular culture with her lived experiences, Bernadette Marie Calafell has added an important new dimension to our thinking about monsters and culture.
