Dune’s Not a White Savior Narrative. But It’s Complicated. | by Haris Durrani: “Do you think Dune is a white savior narrative? Well, you’re wrong. To accept that interpretation is to re-inscribe an account of the novel promulgated by adolescent white boys since the first of Frank Herbert’s Dune books came out in the 1960s.”
