Anchored in the critical concept of transnational ethnofuturisms and informed by postcolonial and intersectional perspectives, this thesis argues that contemporary diasporic East and Southeast Asian speculative fiction (ESEA SF) acts as praxis for dismantling systems of racial oppression and envisioning socially just futures. This will be examined via the works of four writers published in the 2010s-namely, R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War trilogy, Neon Yang's Tensorate duology, Victor Fernando R. Ocampo's The Infinite Library and Other Stories, and Aliette de Bodard's Xuya Universe novelettes. Using mixed methods research, the project will explore how these authors use genre devices to refract oppressivestructures and reimagine socio-political change, and their significance in reshaping Anglophone SF into a plural and postcolonial literary community. I will produce a final thesis, a podcast in conversation with peer researchers, and an open-access archive documenting ESEA SF works.

本文以跨国民族未来主义的批判概念为基础，以后殖民和交叉视角为依据，认为当代散居东亚和东南亚的投机小说（ESEA SF）是拆除种族压迫制度和设想社会公正未来的实践。我们将通过2010年出版的四位作家的作品来检验这一点，他们分别是：R.F.匡的《罂粟之战》三部曲、杨虹的《张sorate》二重奏、维克多·费尔南多·r·奥坎波的《无限图书馆和其他故事》，以及阿利亚特·德·博达德的《徐亚宇宙》中篇小说。通过混合方法研究，该项目将探索这些作者如何使用类型设备来折射压迫结构和重新想象社会政治变革，以及他们在将英语SF重塑为多元化和后殖民文学社区中的意义。我将撰写一篇期末论文，一个与同行研究人员对话的播客，以及一个记录ESEA SF作品的开放获取档案。
