Description:
"The zombie is the most overtly colonial monster in the Gothic pantheon, and yet the one most urgently in need of being reinserted into proper colonial and neo-colonial contexts. This collection expertly deploys the latest in decolonial theory to offer urgent political readings always sensitive to ever-shifting local and global situations. Important and timely." -- Roger Luckhurst, Birkbeck University of London, UK "This volume of essays is a valuable addition to scholarship on the figure of the zombie in popular and literary texts, as well as a helpful working out of the growing academic inclination toward 'decolonial' analytical practice over 'postcolonial' criticism." -- New West Indian Guide
