Reviews for Politics of Star Trek

George Gonzalez has written an exhilarating, probing, exciting study of the Trek franchise that focuses on its considerable and enduring value as a politically resistant text. By reorienting scholarship to focus on Trek's commitment to liberal humanism from the Original Series to Star Trek Into Darkness, this study encourages the reader to boldly go back to the origins of Trek's ethical political vision and the immeasurable pleasures and values of its ongoing narrative. - David Greven, Professor, University of South Carolina, USA
