Editorial Foreword 73.2 (May 2014)

(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Our Cover This issue's cover is inspired by the pair of essays discussing the Soviet influence on science fiction and technology throughout the communist domain of the Cold War era. [...]one could go much further than that and say that they move as well from the past and the present into the future and from Earth to Mars and the Moon. [...]before the issue closes, as always, with a rich array of book reviews dealing with disparate parts of Asia and comparative and theoretical issues that focus in part on Asian settings, comes a last research article: historian Kirsten L. Ziomek's "The 1903 Human Pavilion: Colonial Realities and Subaltern Subjectivities in Twentieth-Century Japan."
