> About This Book
> American culture has long represented mixed-race identity in paradoxical
> terms. On the one hand, it has been associated with weakness, abnormality,
> impurity, transgression, shame, and various pathologies; however, it can
> also connote genetic superiority, exceptional beauty, and special
> potentiality. This ambivalence has found its way into superhero media,
> which runs the gamut from *Ant-Man and the Wasp*’s tragic mulatta villain
> Ghost to the cinematic depiction of Aquaman as a heroic “half-breed.”
>
> The essays in this collection contend with the multitude of ways that
> racial mixedness has been presented in superhero comics, films, television,
> and literature. They explore how superhero media positions mixed-race
> characters within a genre that has historically privileged racial purity
> and propagated images of white supremacy. The book considers such iconic
> heroes as Superman, Spider-Man, and The Hulk, alongside such lesser-studied
> characters as Valkyrie, Dr. Fate, and Steven Universe. Examining both
> literal and symbolic representations of racial mixing, this study
> interrogates how we might challenge and rewrite stereotypical narratives
> about mixed-race identity, both in superhero media and beyond.
> About the Author/Editor

> "How often do you read a book that you simultaneously think, I want to

> race, gender, and sexuality in the superhero genre while providing a deeply
> satisfying, critically engaging and eminently enjoyable read."

> "While it has long been known that white supremacy was baked into the

> essays examines vibrant new works that reimagine and reinvent that troubled
> legacy. Through discussions of such figures as Miles Morales, the cinematic
> Valkyrie and Barack Obama, it advances the growing centrality of mixedness,
> *mestiza* consciousness and intersectionality in the transmedial
> twenty-first-century superhero genre. Given the realities of living in the
> post-2016 USA, this book couldn’t come at a better time."

> "Dagbovie-Mullins and Berlatsky’s book is a unique and timely collection
> discussing superhero comics and films at the intersection of comics studies
> and critical mixed-race studies. The chapters provide valuable resources
> for scholars as well as students in multiple disciplines and
> interdisciplinary fields, and make a significant contribution to existing
> scholarship on racial mixedness in cultural productions."

> "An insightful and transformative work. *Mixed-Race Superheroes* reveals
> the hidden possibilities of the superhero genre. Profoundly thoughtful and
> carefully researched, this volume uses the ubiquitous cultural language of
> the superhero genre and the complexity inherent to racial hybridity to
> illustrate crucial points about identity, community, and power in the
> United States. This volume uses a transmedia framework to bring characters,
> settings, and themes linked to superheroes into a dynamic and revealing
> conversation. This collection will be useful for researchers steeped in
> these issues while highlighting innovative points of inquiry for scholars
> new to the superhero genre."
