Expressing Political Tension in Literature: Science Fiction in the Context of the Cold War
The pieces in our exhibit serve as a historical record and reflection of the tensions and events of the Cold War era (for our purposes, defined as the 1950s to the 1990s). These pieces also demonstrate how science fiction evolved and changed throughout the twentieth century due to the Cold War's influence. The structure of the exhibit itself demonstrates how the events of the Cold War impacted and changed science-fiction through each decade of the Cold War.
We hope you enjoy our exhibit and see how the Cold War influenced the production of science fiction literature.
