Joss Whedon and Race: Critical Essays - Paperback
by Mary Ellen Iatropoulos (Editor)
Joss Whedon is known for exploring philosophical questions through socially progressive narratives in his films, television shows and comics. His work critiques racial stereotypes, sometimes repudiating them, sometimes reinvesting in them (sometimes both at once). This collection of new essays explores his representations of racial power dynamics between individuals and institutions and how the Whedonverse constructs race, ethnicity and nationality relationships.

She works as director of education at Spark Media Project, a nonprofit focusing on media literacy and production, in Poughkeepsie, New York. Lowery A. Woodall III is an assistant professor of communication and theatre at Millersville University in Millersville, Pennsylvania, and is the faculty advisor for WIXQ-FM, Millersville's campus radio station.
