Exploring postapocalypticism in the Black literary and cultural
tradition, this book extends the scholarly conversation on
Afro-futurist canon formation through an examination of futuristic
imaginaries in representative twentieth and twenty-first century
works of literature and expressive culture by Black women in an
African diasporic setting. The author demonstrates the implications
of Afro-futurist literary criticism for Black Atlantic literary and
critical theory, investigating issues of hybridity, transcending
boundaries, temporality and historical recuperation. Covering
writers including Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson,
Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward and Beyonce, this book examines the ways
Black women artists attempt to recover a raced and gendered
heritage, and how they explore an evolving social order that is
both connected to and distinct from the past.
