Download or read book The Dark Fantastic written by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the diversity crisis in children's and young adult media as not only a lack of representation, but a lack of imagination Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter. The Dark Fantastic is an engaging and provocative exploration of race in popular youth and young adult speculative fiction. Grounded in her experiences as YA novelist, fanfiction writer, and scholar of education, Thomas considers four black girl protagonists from some of the most popular stories of the early 21st century: Bonnie Bennett from the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Analyzing their narratives and audience reactions to them reveals how these characters mirror the violence against black and brown people in our own world. In response, Thomas uncovers and builds upon a tradition of fantasy and radical imagination in Black feminism and Afrofuturism to reveal new possibilities. Through fanfiction and other modes of counter-storytelling, young people of color have reinvisioned fantastic worlds that reflect their own experiences, their own lives. As Thomas powerfully asserts, “we dark girls deserve more, because we are more.”

Published in the past due nineteenth century, the book explores the undying situation of the solar as an image of divine electricity and enlightenment. F. W. Bain, a British writer and pupil, delves into the mystical factors of the solar's descent, drawing on Eastern and Western philosophies to get to the lowest of the profound implications of this celestial phenomenon. Bain weaves a tapestry of non-secular and metaphysical thoughts, the usage of the descent of the solar as a metaphor for the soul's journey towards self-attention and non-secular enlightenment. The book explores subject subjects of cosmic concord, the interaction between light and darkness, and the cyclical nature of lifestyles. Bain's poetic and insightful fashion urges readers to reflect on the underlying meaning of existence and the interconnection of the cosmos. "The Descent of the Sun" is a thought-upsetting and contemplative paintings that crosses cultural and theological limitations, giving readers perception into the widely wide-spread longing for inner illumination. F. W. Bain's exam of religious truths and cosmic symbolism makes this painting both ageless and attractive for all and sundry searching for wisdom and enlightenment.
