is the publishing project of the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies, University of Limerick, and the University of Bologna at Forlì. The series editors publish scholarship that addresses the theory and practice of utopianism including Anglophone, continental European, and indigenous and post-colonial traditions, and contemporary and historical periods.

This book surveys reimaginings of race by US American utopian novelists including Dorothy Bryant, Marge Piercy, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler and Kim Stanley Robinson. It argues that our utopian dreams cannot be furthered unless we come to terms with the phenomenology of race and the impasse of the individual in liberal humanist democracy.
