By examining the interplay of race and representation in 21st-century Western popular culture, this book delves into how discourses of race manifest within the realm of Fantasy. It highlights the tensions surrounding race, racism, and white privilege through an interdisciplinary lens, incorporating insights from Literary, Cultural, Fan, and Whiteness Studies. The analysis covers significant texts and the influence of franchises, industry practices, and fan interactions, providing a critical perspective on the cultural anxieties of a society claiming to be post-race.
