We are delighted to present the book trailer, cover reveal, & pre-order page for DISOBEDIENT FUTURES: AN ANTHOLOGY (University Press of Kentucky, May 4, 2027).
DISOBEDIENT FUTURES, edited by Rita Banerjee, Diana Norma Szokolyai, and Corrine Previte, is a speculative literature anthology that imagines what the future cultures of America and the world might look like through a diverse, inclusive, and multi-genre lens. The anthology includes fiction, poetry, nonfiction, hybrid work, art, and photography that explore utopian, dystopian, and alternative realities, futuristic places, and parallel histories through the perspectives of disobedient gender, disobedient identities, disobedient class, disobedient borders, and disobedient environmentalism. DISOBEDIENT FUTURES aims to foster new modes of critical inquiry and invites readers to play and imagine thought-provoking and more inclusive possibilities for the future.
