In A Different Trek: Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine, David K. Seitz looks at the "black sheep" of the Star Trek family, using sets of episodes grouped by theme to analyze the socio-political dimensions of the series and explore why its messages remain so relevant today.

This is easily my favourite academic book about Star Trek that I've read so far. I have so many sticky notes in this book after reading it, marking new (to me) analysis of various episodes and characters and great observations. It left me inspired to rewatch DS9 and re-energized for activism.
