Summary:

This book, authored by Nemo Madeleine Sugimoto Martin, explores the construction of race within the fanworks of Victor Hugo's 'Les Misérables'. It examines how racial stereotypes have been perpetuated in fan communities, particularly in online spaces, and how these communities reconcile their social justice ideals with the presence of racism. The text utilizes the Les Misérables fandom as a case study to highlight these issues, focusing on how race is portrayed in fan-created content and the impact on fans of color. The author's goal is to critique fan racism and discuss the challenges of addressing racialized language in spaces often seen as escapist. This work is intended for scholars and readers interested in fandom studies, race, and media representation. Generated by AI.
