Reviews
"Adam Millsap's Dayton: The Rise, Decline, and Transition of an Industrial City has delivered a tour de force in timely, relevant, and insightful urban economic history. This book is much more than a case study; it's a layered and sophisticated window into the past, and it has implications for understanding cities today and tomorrow." --Samuel R. Staley, PhD, Director of the DeVoe L. Moore Center at Florida State University, "The scholars in this book powerfully state that equality is not about changing 'comic book' colors but dismantling a racial ideology that has penetrated the core of American nationalism, industry, and culture." --Enrique García author of The Hernandez Brothers: Love, Rockets, and Alternative Comics, "This is a fascinating collection; taken together, this edited volume is an impressive consideration of the superhero genre, those who created these characters, and the audiences who consume and interact with these ideas." --Lily Goren, New Books Network, "Triumphant, provocative, defiant, discipline defining, and paradigm-shifting.... A timely and necessary intervention. Summing up: Essential." --S. B. Skelton, CHOICE Reviews, "In this powerful and timely collection of scholarship, contributors from a variety of backgrounds explore the production, audience, and reception of superhero comic books as a means to engage with questions of what it means to be American and to be heroic ... [An] ending note of hope is precisely why Unstable Masks is an important and powerful book: wide-ranging in terms of texts and time periods, but eloquently connected to the present cultural moment in America (and beyond), and profoundly significant for thinking through how we might reconceptualize the heroes we construct for our future." --Kristin Noone, SFRA Review, " Adam Millsap shows that a city is not created from above nor conjured from government programs--it emerges and changes shape based on the countless interactions of people who are drawn to its potential and opportunities." --Eileen Norcross, VP for Policy Research at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, " Unstable Masks should be read cover to cover. In addition to bringing together some extremely strong essays on comic book superheroes, the collection works well to depict the dangers inherent within our predominantly white cultural constructions of heroism." --Terrence Wandtke author of The Dark Night Returns: The Resurgence of Crime Comics

Synopsis
In Unstable Masks: Whiteness and American Superhero Comics , Sean Guynes and Martin Lund bring together a series of essays that contextualize the histories and stakes of whiteness studies, superhero comics, and superhero studies for academics, fans, and media-makers alike. The volume illustrates how the American comic book superhero is fundamentally a figure of white power and white supremacy and ultimately calls for diversity in superhero comics as well as a democratized media culture. Contributors not only examine superhero narratives but also delve into the production, distribution, audience, and reception of those narratives, highlighting the imbrication of forces that have helped to create, normalize, question, and sometimes even subvert American beliefs about whiteness and race. Unstable Masks considers the co-constitutive nature of identity, representation, narrative, production and consumption, and historical and cultural contexts in forging the stereotypes that decide who gets to be a superhero and who gets to be American on the four-color pages of comic books., A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2020 In Unstable Masks: Whiteness and American Superhero Comics , Sean Guynes and Martin Lund bring together a series of essays that contextualize the histories and stakes of whiteness studies, superhero comics, and superhero studies for academics, fans, and media-makers alike.
