Our first guest blog post is now up!

We are delighted to present our first guest blog post, in which Professor Emily A. Maguire (Northwestern University) talks about the story behind her new book. Tropical Time Machines is of particular relevance to the '(De)colonial Ecologies' project because of its engagement with the reflections on temporality evident in recent insular Hispanic Caribbean culture - especially film. As we will see below, the book considers how science fiction is harnessed to critique colonial imaginaries of the region and envision alternative futures. What's more, the genre engages with ecologies (relationships among humans and between humans and non-human nature) in critical, apocalyptic, and speculative ways.
