Description: Monsters vs. Patriarchy examines female monstrosity as it appears in horror films from around the world and considers specific political, scientific, and historical contexts to better understand how we construct and reconstruct monstrosity, using an intersectional approach to examine the imposition of gender and racial hierarchies that support national power structures and horrorize female and other subjects.
Review Quotes: "With the same far-reaching scope and incisive critical eye that they demonstrated in Infected Empires: Decolonizing Zombies, here Saldarriaga and Manini interrogate women, toxic imagination, and monstrosity in the horror film. The result is another tour de force."--Cynthia Steele "translator of Crónicas de la Nueva Esperanza / Chronicles of New Hope"
