Book Synopsis
Jordan Peele''s Get Out: Political Horror is a collection of sixteen essays devoted to exploring Get Out''s roots in the horror tradition and its complex and timely commentary on twenty-first-century US race relations. The first section, The Politics of Horror, traces the influence of the gothic and horror tradition on Peele''s film, from Shakespeare''s Othello, through the female gothic and Ira Levin''s Rosemary''s Baby and The Stepford Wives, to the modern horror film, including the zombie, rural, suburban, and body-swap subgenres of horror. The second section, The Horror of Politics, takes up Get Out''s varied political interventions-notably its portrayal of the continuation of slavery and the deformation of the black body and mind in white, so-called progressive America. Contributors address Peele''s film alongside African American figures such as Nat Turner, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Jam
