Beschreibung
"Critical and cultural interrogations of African fiction, showcasing how each author's work engages with Afro-centered futurism. Through ethnographic reflections and intense scrutinies of African writing, authors and award winners--including Nuzo Onoh, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, and Dila Dilman--provide open and diverse reflections of 'Afrofuturism,' 'Africanfuturism,' and 'Africanjujuism,' contributing to an important conversation on the rise of Black speculative fiction as it explores diversity and social (in)justice and charts poignant stories with Black hero/ines who remake their worlds in a colour zone of their own"
