"Antiracist Futures for Games and Play is hands down the best collection of original essays on video games; it is a reparative, deeply grounded history and analysis of the past, present, and future of games as a medium and as a space of contestation. This is the intellectually elevated, incisive book that game players and game scholars need right now."--Lisa Nakamura, author of, The Inattention Economy: How Women of Color Built the Internet

"The editors of Antiracist Futures for Games and Play have created a communal space blending chapters, keywords, and interviews, allowing multiple arguments and worldviews to play off each other, co-existing within collective social aims. The result is a remarkable undertaking, a collection whose ambitious breadth gives desperately needed breath to the marginalized players and writers lurking outside the colorfully pixelated fortress of game studies."--Christopher B. Patterson, author of, Open World Empire: Race, Erotics, and the Global Rise of Video Games
