We See a Different Frontier: A Postcolonial Speculative Fiction Anthology

This anthology of speculative fiction stories on the themes of colonialism and cultural imperialism focuses on the viewpoints of the colonized. Sixteen authors share their experiences of being the silent voices in history and on the wrong side of the final frontier; their fantasies of a reality in which straight, cis, able-bodied, rich, anglophone, white males don't get to tell us how they won every war; their revenge against the alien oppressor settling their "new world".
