Human Contradictions in Octavia Butler’s Work continues the critical discussions of Butler’s work by offering discussions that use a variety of theoretical perspectives and approaches to Butler’s text. This collection contains original essays that engage Butler’s series (Seed to Harvest, Xenogenesis, Parables), her stand-alone novels (Kindred and Fledgling), and her short stories. The essays explore new facets of Butler’s work and applications to philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, cultural studies, ethnic studies, women’s studies, religious studies, American studies, and U.S. history. The volume establishes new approaches to this seminal figure in African American literature, science fiction, feminism, and popular culture.
