Review Quotes:
"While there have been studies on the individual countries featured in the book, there are no previous studies that bridge the gaps between South Asia and the Americas in terms of speculative fiction or in terms of care policy. The comparative aspect for these regions is new, and the introduction of chapters dealing with different kinds of speculative futures is a welcome addition." - Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, University of Oslo
"This is a groundbreaking volume for several reasons. The interdisciplinary collection of social sciences and humanities creates a compelling argument for understanding how literary and anthropological studies can enrich each other. I applaud how it puts the various regions of the global south into productive conversation." - J. Andrew Brown, Washington University in St. Louis
