Their world fiction produces transhistorical, transnational experiences offered to the reader for collective responsibility in these critical times. Their books function as heterotopias: spaces and processes that recall and confront regimes of recognized truths to dismantle fixed identities and actualize possibilities for becoming other. Higgins and Leps define and explore a slant, biopoetic perspective that is feminist, materialist, anti-racist, and anti-war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations                  \u003cbr\u003eList of Figures                    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: Heterotopic World Fiction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One.
