Books by Rukmini Pande

Gathers together seemingly contradictory narratives that intersect at the (in)visibility of race/ism in fandom and fan studies. This collection engages the problem by undertaking the different tactics of decolonization - diversifying methodologies, destabilizing canons of 'must-read' scholarship, and decentering white fans.

Rukmini Pande's examination of race in fan studies will make an immediate contribution to the growing field. Until now, virtually no sustained examination of race and racism in transnational fan cultures has taken place, a lack that is concerning given that current fan spaces have never been more vocal about issues of privilege and discrimination.
