BIPOC and Genre Fiction Roundtable
A roundtable proposal for a discussion that aims to flesh out the intertwining and juxtaposed ways that genre fictions include, exclude, and position BIPOC authors and characters. The question of canon looms large as we explore the ways that these lists are traditionally white-washed, a discussion that cannot be ignored as we think about various genre fiction’s reception of BIPOC authors and characters. How are BIPOC characters treated within the confines of the novels in ways that are similar or different than their white novel counterparts? How does genre inform treatment of BIPOC characters, that is, does the genre rely on contemporary racial dynamics or does it reach outside of that structure? Are Black and Indigenous authors treated differently than White authors within the genre? Which books make up the ‘canon’ and how should we go about addressing exclusions within the ‘traditional’ novels of particular genre fictions? Thinking pedagogically, how do we wrestle with these questions and avoid perpetuating them, particularly in a spectacularly turbulent national environment?
