"In these pages, Derek Lee engages the pseudoscience moniker, that ultimate rhetorical insult, and seeks to replace it with a more accurate parascience - a place where science and that which is other than science meet and express themselves in literally global pathways as distinct as pulp and science fiction, environmental thought, Asian and Indigenous ways of knowing, U.S. secret espionage, and ethnic fiction. Lee shows all of this with consummate skill and rigor, pushing us beyond our present impasses. This thing is not going away. This is a revolution." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else
"Derek Lee delves into the rich history of the paranormal to instigate a captivating discussion of its influence on literature and science into the twenty-first century through SF and ethnic fictions with the unproven concepts of parascience - precognition, telekinesis, clairvoyance, spectral communication, and telepathy. A classic in the making!" - Isiah Lavender III, author of Afrofuturism Rising: The Literary Prehistory of a Movement
