Science Fiction (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) by Sherryl Vint

Interesting ideas for sure, but the writing is very academese. The repeated use of "imaginary" as a noun drove me nuts.

The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction (Routledge Literature Companions) by Mark Bould

I skipped around a bit, but the essays in the historical section are solid as are the brief introductions/overviews about critical race theory, feminism, marxism, postcolonialism, and queer theory (and yay for suggested reading lists).
