H. Bruce Franklin

Howard Bruce Franklin was an American cultural historian, scholar, and left-wing activist. His main areas of academic focus were science fiction, prison literature, environmentalism, the Vietnam War and its aftermath, and American cultural history. He wrote or edited twenty books and three hundred professional articles and participated in making four films. He was instrumental in helping to debunk false public speculation that Vietnam was continuing to hold prisoners of war. He helped to establish science fiction writing as a genre worthy of serious academic study. In 2008, the American Studies Association awarded him the Pearson-Bode Prize for Lifetime Achievement in American Studies.
