Description
In our post-9/11 world, the figure of the stranger - the foreigner, the enemy, the unknown visitor - carries a particular urgency, and the force of language used to describe those who are different has become strong. This title reveals the history of encounters with alien figures and our struggles with romantic concerns about the unknown.
