Title: X, Why? Minorities in a Large Field or the Majority in our
Own?
Description: Joanna Russ said in 1983: “But remember, one can’t get
minority work into the canon by pretending it’s about the same things
or uses the same techniques as majority work.” Does this mean we
should think of feminist SF (or that written by gay or black people)
as a separate field? How much should minority-advocacy SF speak to
people who aren’t part of the minority?
