Smith that explores the intersection of Afrocentricity and Afrofuturism. The collection argues for a methodological shift in Africana studies, emphasizing the importance of grounding future narratives in African identity and history while critiquing existing scholarship for not prioritizing Afrocentricity as a foundational element. Contributors examine various topics, including the cultural significance of music, film, and philosophical concepts from Africa, while also addressing the historical roots of Afrofuturism and its implications for Black agency. The article notes a significant omission of African science fiction authors, highlighting the need for broader representation within the discourse. Overall, the collection aims to redefine Afrofuturism through an Afrocentric lens, fostering a deeper understanding of African futures and cultural production. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
