Zombie settlers: James Rose, ‘The Blood Running Through the Water: Decoding the White Settler Zombie in Jeff Barnaby’s Blood Quantum’, in S. Bacon (ed.), The Palgrave Handbook of the Zombie, Palgrave, 2025

15Feb25

Excerpt: Released in 2019, Jeff Barnaby’s (Mi’gMaq) Blood Quantum takes the established tropes of North American Zombie Cinema—the unexplained viral outbreak, the infectious bite, and the violent conflict between factions of survivors, the young, pregnant survivor and the symbolic potential of the zombie itself—and deftly reworks them through a First Nations perspective.
