Commentary: The Zombie Reader should be read to contextualize and shed new light on familiar zombie sto- ries such as The Walking Dead (2010–present) and Colson Whitehead’s novel Zone One (2011). It provides readings to examine how the zombie was imported from Haiti to Hollywood during the American Occupation of Haiti (1915–34) and the Great Depression. It also introduces read- ers to Afro-Caribbean culture through its own interpretations of the zombie. Learning about Afro-Caribbean thought stimulates students’ cultural literacy not only by bringing a new and richer perspective on the zombie in popular culture, but also on central human experiences such as death, dehumanization, loss, and mourning.
