Description
Assembling the best international, interdisciplinary zombie scholarship, this collection considers what the walking undead reveal about our relationships to the world and to each other. Essays portray zombies not as a singular cultural figure but as representative of larger issues: the belief in an afterlife, fears of contagion and technology, the effect of capitalism and commodification, racial exclusion and oppression, dehumanization.
