This critical collection covers a broad spectrum of works, both
literary and cinematic, and issues from writers, directors, and
artists who claim the science fiction, speculative fiction, and
Afro-futurist genres. The anthology extends the discursive
boundaries of science fiction by examining iconic writers like
Octavia Butler, Walter Mosley, and Nalo Hopkinson through the lens
of ecofeminist veganism, post-9/11 racial geopolitics, and the
effect of the computer database on human voice and agency.
Contributors expand what the field characterizes as speculative
fiction by examining for the first time the vampire tropes present
in Audre Lorde's poetry, and by tracing her influence on the horror
fiction of Jewelle Gomez. The collection moves beyond exploration
of literary fiction to study the Afro-futurist representations of
Blacks in comic books, in the Star Trek franchise, in African
films, and in blockbuster films like Independence Day, I Robot, and
I Am Legend.
