Exploring The Rhetorical Power Of Speculative Fiction Through Jewelle Gomez’S The Gilda Stories And Octavia Butler’S Fledgling, Monique Dixon
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
There are apparent similarities between Jewelle Gomez’s The Gilda Stories and Octavia Butler’s Fledgling. However, this thesis will demonstrate that they share more than similar subject matter and yet differ in substantial ways. Utilizing Black feminist theory and alternative rhetoric this thesis examines how Gomez and Butler harness the potential of speculative fiction to critique the world around them and imagine an alternative world for those who are intersectionally marginalized.

Dorrington investigated the case of five American Indian girls who ran away from the Greenville Indian Industrial School in 1916.

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Because racial oppression is often internalized, this thesis examines literature written by POC about protagonists of color struggling with depression.
