Book Description

This anthology of speculative fiction stories on the themes of colonialism and cultural imperialism focuses on the viewpoints of the colonized. Sixteen authors share their experiences of being the silent voices in history and on the wrong side of the final frontier; their fantasies of a reality in which straight, cis, able-bodied, rich, anglophone, white males don’t get to tell us how they won every war; their revenge against the alien oppressor settling their “new world”.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the read August 26, 2013
Format:Paperback
Time travel, space travel, distant and not so distant futures, alternate realities, alien worlds, alien creatures, alien cultures - "We See A Different Frontier" has them all and much, much more. It's a thoroughly engaging science-fiction anthology book in which the authors take it upon themselves to explore complex issues such as colonialism, racism, imperialism and many others from non-traditional viewpoints. Each story reflects the central themes of the book well, speaking hard truths without flinching. It's thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging. I may not have liked all of the stories, but there was something in every story that I liked, whether it be a character, concept or even a line of dialogue. It was well worth the read and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent anthology October 20, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
While there were two or three entries that didn’t really appeal to me for one reason or another, all the stories here are expertly and impressively crafted, and most had me riveted (to the point that I once missed my subway stop).

They express a variety of complex viewpoints of colonialism and its impact that resist the simple bad guy/good guy tropes that are so tempting in these cases. Rahul Kanakia’s story “Droplet,” for example, tells about a young man’s maturing as he discovers the truths and lies behind his family’s history in the U.S. and India. Lavie Tidhar’s “Dark Continents” weaves and reweaves several different alternate histories. Sunny Moraine’s non-human protagonist tries to come to terms with memories of genocide in “A Heap of Broken Images.” And J.Y. Yang’s “Old Domes” illustrates how the ghosts of the past and the future can make peace with each other.

If you’re looking for alternative viewpoints in your speculative fiction, this is a very good place to come. And if you’re not interested in your or anyone else’s agenda, but are simply in the market for good, well-written specfic, then We See A Different Frontier belongs on your list as well.

It's a really interesting collection of stories, each of which has made me pause and think. Also, plenty of them are really fun reads. Not every story in this collection is mind-blowing, but so many of them are that I'm really glad I've read it.
