Patricia Sadarriaga Reading

Please join us for a reading from Professor Saldarriaga’s new book Infected Empires: Decolonizing Zombies, which examines a central figure in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This creature reveals bloody truths about the human condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with them. Studying films from a transnational perspective, Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that resists oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize, disable, and dispose of bodies.
