Centring the voices of those oppressed by or omitted from the consumerist American Dream, this book celebrates alternative ways of thinking about how to create a better world through daily practices of generosity, justice, and care. The chapters collected here emphasize utopianism as a practice of social transformation, not as a literary genre depicting a putatively perfect society, and urgently make the case for why we need utopian thought today. With chapters on climate change, economic justice, technology, and more, alongside chapters exploring utopian traditions outside Western frameworks, this book opens a new discussion in utopian thought and theory.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Sherryl Vint (Edited by)Author: Sherryl VintGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Fiction, Science Fiction, Science Nature & MathBook Series: Cambridge Companions to LiteratureItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 151mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 500gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
