This book interrogates the meeting point between Afrofuturism and
Black Sound Studies. Whereas Afrofuturism is often understood
primarily in relation to science fiction and speculative fiction,
it can also be examined from a sonic perspective. The sounds of
Afrofuturism are deeply embedded in the speculative - demonstrated
in mythmaking - in frameworks for songs and compositions, in the
personas of the artists, and in how the sounds are produced. In
highlighting the place of music within the lived experiences of
African Americans, the author analyses how the perspectives of
Black Sound Studies complement and overlap with the discussion of
sonic Afrofuturism. Focusing upon blackness, technology, and sound,
this unique text offers key insights in how music partakes in
imagining and constructing the future. This innovative volume will
appeal to students and scholars of sound studies, musicology and
African American studies.
