Description
Rukmini Pande’s examination of race in fan studies is sure to make an immediate contribution to the growing field. Until now, virtually no sustained examination of race and racism in transnational fan cultures has taken place, a lack that is especially concerning given that current fan spaces have never been more vocal about debating issues of privilege and discrimination.
Advance Praise
“Rukmini Pande’s work is a crucial and timely intervention in the field of fan studies that calls for a re-examination of how the field constructs fans and the spaces fans inhabit. This work will enable current and future generations of fan scholars to reflect more critically on our relationship with race and postcolonialism, and how whiteness frames our understanding of fan culture in an increasingly globalized network of fandom.”—Bertha Chin, Swinburne University of Technology
“Rukmini Pande’s Squee from the Margins is a groundbreaking book on race and fandom. Well-written and accessibly erudite, it is a crucial work that moves fan studies forward as a field. I’m immediately adding it to my syllabus as required reading.”—Paul Booth, editor, Companion to Media Fandom and Fan Studies
