Om denne bog

The figure of the zombie that entered the popular imagination with the publication of William Seabrook''s The Magic Island (1929)--during the American occupation of Haiti--still holds cultural currency around the world.

This book calls for a rethinking of zombies in a sociopolitical context through the examination of several films, including White Zombie (1932), The Love Wanga (1935), I Walked with a Zombie (1943) and The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988). A 21st-century film from Haiti, Zombi candidat a la presidence ... ou les amours d''un zombi, is also examined.

A reading of Heading South (2005), a film about the female tourist industry in the Caribbean, explores zombification as a consumptive process driven by capitalism.
