  • The Star Wars Heresies
    Paul F McDonald / Paul F. McDonald
    Despite the insatiable public appetite for all things Star Wars, the more analytical side of the saga is all too often ignored. This book offers a new way of seeing George Lucas’ space opera--particularly the prequel trilogy, a series never given a fair chance because of constant comparisons to the iconic originals. In the classic style of Joseph Campbell, the trilogy is v...

  • Zombies Are Us
    On the surface, the zombie seems the polar opposite of the human--they are the living dead; we, in essence, are the dying alive. But the zombie is also 'us.' Although decaying, it looks like us, dresses like us, and sometimes (if rarely) acts like us. In this volume, essays by scholars from a range of disciplines examine the zombie as a thematic presence in literature, film,...

  • Race, Oppression and the Zombie
    The figure of the zombie is a familiar one in world culture, acting as a metaphor for 'the other,' a participant in narratives of life and death, good and evil, and of a fate worse than death--the state of being 'undead.'

  • The Empire Triumphant
    Kevin J Wetmore / Kevin J. Wetmore
    George Lucas’s first Star Wars trilogy shows the influences of its era; Cold War tension is evident in its theme of rebellion against totalitarianism.
