<div class="full-description">

There is a growing movement of people who are interested in the incredible U.S. Latino/a writers and artists who have turned to science fiction, fantasy, and other speculative genres. <i>Latino/a Rising: An Anthology of U.S. Latino/a Speculative Fiction</i>will introduce the public to the work of these writers and artists.

With the exception of Edward James Olmos’ <i>Bladerunner</i> and <i>Battlestar Galactica</i>, positive U.S. Latino/a characters have been largely absent from mainstream speculative fiction novels and films. Films such as <i>Men in Black</i> and <i>Alien Nation</i>, and shows such as <i>X-Files,</i> express the anxiety that the mainstream has concerning Latinos/as and recent immigrants.  <i>Latino/a Rising</i> will contest this trend, showing how Latino/a writers and artists are transforming the genres.
