Afrofuturism Short Stories

Exploring new black literature, following the success of Black Sci-Fi and First Peoples Shared Stories.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture characterises Afrofuturism (as distinct from African Futurism) as expressing "notions of Black identity, agency and freedom through art, creative works and activism that envision liberated futures for Black life." This new book offers new stories from open submissions and by invitation, on all aspects of speculative fiction. It follows the success of Black Sci-Fi (2021) of which Scientific American said "contains a thrilling group of memorable, moving tales that often examine the intersections of race, gender, grief, tech and the fantastical." and Publishers Weekly, in a Starred Review "With topics ranging from slavery to space travel, the impressive breadth of this anthology makes for a well-rounded survey. Readers, writers, and scholars alike will find great value here."
