Reclaiming Space

Progressive and Multicultural Visions of Space Exploration

Herausgeber: Nesvold, Erika; Billings, Linda; Schwartz, James S. J.

Beschreibung

Much has been said and written about the value of space exploration from a worldview that is primarily Western, Caucasian, male, and politically libertarian. Reclaiming Space aims to incubate, illuminate, and illustrate a more diverse and inclusive conversation about space travel. Featuring twenty-seven essays written by a diverse array of contributors, Reclaiming Space offers perspectives on subjects such as spaceflight's history; the links between science fiction, space art and imagery, and space policy; and spaceflight as a tool for social progress.
