DS9 and the Radical Imagination: David Seitz
In this Conversation on Anarres, we speak with Dr. David Seitz about his new book A Different Trek: Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine.
We talk about how Star Trek came to be part of his academic research project and why Deep Space Nine captured his imagination as a way to talk about radical politics in the world today.
Our conversation touches on how DS9 is important for the way it is infused by themes from the US Black Freedom Struggle (partly as a result of the influence of Avery Brooks) and has lessons to teach us about colonialism, politics of occupation in the world today (particularly about the developments in Palestine), and queer identity.
