The book explores the intricate relationship between race and popular Fantasy in 21st-century Western culture, highlighting how discourses of race manifest in creative works and their surrounding communities. By employing an interdisciplinary approach that includes Literary, Cultural, Fan, and Whiteness Studies, it delves into the complexities of race, racism, and white privilege, while examining the impact of major texts, franchises, and fan interactions on representation. This work offers critical insights into the cultural anxieties of a society that claims to be post-race.
