Product Info Reviews

Description:

If you've always thought that Star Trek and Star Trek: the Next Generation deserved the kind of close, political analysis that first-year English classes currently lavish on The Odyssey and To The Lighthouse, then Enterprise Zones: Critical Positions on Star Trek is the volume you have been waiting for. But, then, how could anyone fail to enjoy articles entitled "Worf as Metonymic Signifier of Racial, Cultural and National Differences," and "General Chang as Homoerotic Enablement in Star Trek VI: the Undiscovered Country"? The twin charms of this book lie in the writers' ability to quote dialog from dozens of episodes as though they were great works of the Western Canon, and in their frequent failure to distinguish the fictional Federation from a real political entity crying out for critical reappraisal. A delight on many levels.
