This book investigates how African authors and artists have explored themes of the future and technology within their works.

Afrofuturism was coined in the 1990s as a means of exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology, science and science fiction. However, this book argues that literature and other arts within Africa have always reflected on themes of futurism, across diverse forms of speculative writing (including science fiction), images, spirituality, myth, magical realism, the supernatural, performance and other forms of oral resources. This book reflects on themes of African futurism across a range of literary and artistic works, also investigating how problems such as racism, sexism, social injustice and postcolonialism are reflected in these narratives. Chapters cover authors, artists, movements and performers such Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Elechi Amadi, Mazisi Kunene, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, Leslie Nneka Arimah and the New African Movement. The book also includes a range of original interviews with prominent authors and artists, including Tanure Ojaide, Lauren Beukes, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Benjamin Kwakye, Ntongela Masilela and Bruce Onobrakpeya.

Interdisciplinary in its approach, this book will be an important resource for researchers across the fields of African literature, philosophy, culture and politics.

Recenzijas

"Dike Okoro is a part of a contemporary wave of scholarship on the emerging field of Afrofuturism studies. He is one of a few people in the world who is an accomplished scholar in Afrofuturist studies that focuses on African futurism. In a short time, his scholarship is required reading for scholars interested in linking Afrofuturism and phenomena from the African continent. For these reasons and more, Dike Okoro's work is currently at the vanguard of scholarship in contemporary Afrofuturist studies."

Reynaldo Anderson, Editor, The Black Speculative Arts Movement: Black Futurity, Art+ Design

"The book Futurism and the African Imagination in Literature and Other Arts is a critical exploration of the emerging novel ways by which African writers and artists apprehend time, space and experience through experimental narrative forms fused with traditional dramatic performances as well as speculative revolutionary painting among other forms of art. [ ....The book aims to] debunk western stereotypes that undermine African literary imagination through the deployment of an approach that emphasizes the limitless power and potency of black imagination. This approach which is identified as Afro (futurism) is aimed at providing fresh insights on African narratives which fuse elements of fiction, fantasy historical fiction, science fiction and magical realism tore-imagine Africas future while authenticating the historicity of her humanity through their artistic vision."
