Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture

afcoverskethIn the past I have written on various aspects of African American work in genre, including African science fiction and horror. Not long ago I also posted a link on the TheoFantastique page to the discussion of why African Americans tend not to involve themselves in more mainstream aspects of genre that tends to see higher participation by Whites. Yesterday I was pleased to discover through i09 the website of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture that is related to the book of the same title by Ytasha L. Womack and published by Laurence Hill Books that “explores black geek culture and more.” Visit the website and order the book for an exploration of a neglected facet of the depths of geek, sci-fi, and fantasy culture(s).
