Ebony Elizabeth Thomas examines the systemic exclusion of people of color within speculative fiction, tracing how racial tropes and marginalization persist across literature, film, and television. By analyzing popular narratives from Harry Potter to The Hunger Games, the author reveals how the industry’s limited imagination restricts the potential of youth media. This critical study bridges the gap between fan culture and academic inquiry to address the urgent need for inclusive storytelling.
