The Black Imagination, Science Fiction and the Speculative

This text critically examines works in literature and film of the African and Black Diaspora as well as mainstream media and popular culture in which African descendant people are subjects, actors and agents in science fiction narratives about imagined futures—whether they be set on earth, or elsewhere in the universe: set in the future—near and distant, or alternative pasts. This book was published as a special issue of African Identities: An International Journal.
