Two months before my first published book What If I Fly? released, I had stepped down from my first journalism job after a year and a half on the news source's team. I had grown tired of it. I wasn't producing my pieces out of the love of writing anymore. It had become a daunting task, and it was adding more stress to me than relief. My life was changing drastically, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Managing depression, a break up, and career path changes, I became a person that I did not know anymore. I was literally afraid of mirrors. I didn't want to see myself. I was irate, confused, borderline suicidal, and overall lost. I cannot count how many nights I laid in the bed unable to sleep because I could not make my brain shut up. But in my bouts of raw emotion, writing was the only thing that saved me, the only thing that kept me sane.

How do political conflicts shape popular culture? This book explores that question by analyzing how the Planet of the Apes films functioned both as entertaining adventures and as apocalyptic political commentary. Informative and thought provoking, the book demonstrates how this enormously popular series of secular myths used images of racial and ecological crisis to respond to events like the Cold War, the race riots of the 1960s, the Civil Rights movement, the Black Power movement, and the Vietnam War. The work utilizes interviews with key filmmakers and close readings of the five Apes films and two television series to trace the development of the series' theme of racial conflict in the context of the shifting ideologies of race during the sixties and seventies. The book also observes that today, amid growing concerns over race relations, the resurgent popularity of Apes and Twentieth Century--Fox's upcoming film may again make Planet of the Apes a pop culture phenomenon that asks who we are and where we are going.
