The study is based on Carrington’s experience as a fan reviewer, and it aims to “create a framework in popular culture for a greater understanding of what it means to be black.” In order to cast a wide net and examine how blackness is portrayed in the common imagination, He rejects a narrow sense of speculation. The book’s theoretical framework is laid out in the Introduction, “The Whiteness of Science Fiction and the Speculative Fiction of Blackness,” which also includes the author’s definition of speculative fiction, his priorities in terms of critical race and feminism, the implications of genre, and a “chiastic” view of speculative fiction as a white cultural tradition that nevertheless encourages imaginative and empowered interpretations of blackness.
