"The alarm and anxiety unleashed by the Great Recession found fascinating expression
across popular culture. Harried survivors negotiated societal collapse in The Walking
Dead. Middle-class whites crossed the literal and metaphorical Mexican border on Breaking
Bad or coped with a lack of freedom among the marginalized on Orange Is the New Black.
Camilla Fojas uses representations of people of color, the incarcerated, and trans/queers--vulnerable
populations all--to work through the contradictions created by the economic crisis
and its freefalling aftermath. Television, film, advertising, and media coverage of
the crisis created a distinct kind of story about capitalism and the violence that
supports it. Fojas shows how these pop culture moments reshaped social dynamics and
people's economic sensibilities and connects the ways pop culture reflected economic
devastation. She also examines how these artifacts illuminated parts of society usually
kept off-screen or on the margins even as they defaulted to stories of white protagonists.
Bold and riveting, Zombies, Migrants, and Queers is an overdue exploration of America's
reshuffled capitalism and the stories emerging from within its contradictions and
uncertainties" -- From the publisher
