Creolizing Frankenstein dissects and critically appreciates Mary Shelley's 200-year old novel. Contributors advance two claims: first, this story is the product of creolization-the intentional conglomeration of a variety of scientific, mythological, political, religious, gender, educational, historical, and racial discourses. Second, we trace the ways in which Frankenstein has creolized itself into modern and contemporary life and culture in such a way as to have become a new mythology and political statement for each generation. Authors in this volume place Frankenstein into productive conversation with such figures and fields as Frederick Douglass and slave narrative, Frantz Fanon and postcolonial theory, Afro-Caribbean Hispanophone and Francophone literature, nineteenth century labor history, the Black Radical Tradition, Trans studies, feminist theory, Marxism and critical social theory, film studies, music and media studies, Afro-futurism and African futurism, political theory, education theory, Gothic literary studies, and Africana philosophy.

Industry Reviews
This book has reanimated the Frankenstein monster as a timely metaphor for creolization in the wake of Black Lives Matter and the global momentum to decolonize the curriculum. Michael R. Paradiso-Michau has skillfully stitched together this edited collection to mark the hybridity of Mary Shelley's creation-now reborn to speak for a new generation. -- Marie Mulvey-Roberts, University of the West of England and co-editor of Global Frankenstein
