Video Games between Postcolonialism and Postcommunism

About this book

This volume sets out to investigate video games' complex entanglement with colonial legacies. By means of its methodological diversity, it offers a rich perspective on the ideological working of coloniality in video games at the intersection with multiple other power structures and economic systems. Besides Global North/South and West/East tensions, it also focuses on postcommunist contexts and their bearings on video games.
