More about the book

Examining American science fiction films from 1950 to 2020, this study explores the theme of extraterrestrial invasions as a metaphor for imperialism. It highlights how these films portray America and its allies as subjects of colonial control, allowing filmmakers to critique or defend American interventionism. The analysis delves into the films' commentary on domestic issues like racial and gender hierarchies, as well as international hegemonic practices, tracing the evolution of these themes from the Cold War era to contemporary culture.
