This volume is dedicated to fictional negotiations of future, or
rather futureS. After all, 'future' cannot but exist in a multitude
of complementary and/or competing futures, all causally related to
each other just as much as to their pasts and their respective
memories. Within this cyclical and causal triad of past, present
and future, futureS have been made and unmade, remembered and
forgotten, affirmed and subverted in the multiversity of competing
agencies, interests, and accesses to power and privileges. Thus
framed, African and African diasporic futureS have been done,
undone and redone over the centuries, affecting and affected by
planetary actions as ruled by global power constellations, whilst
being contemplated and moulded by fictional in(ter)ventions in the
process. Literature and other cultural means of expression such as
film, fine arts, performing arts and the internet are at the centre
of this volume. Employing FutureS as a critical category of
analysis, the book comprises perspectives from Europe, Africa and
the Middle East, from academics, activists and artists. They all
share their perspectives on African and African-diasporic visions
of futureS, with an emphasis on dreaming and memory,
environmentalism and ethics, freedom and resistance. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of the
African Literature Association.
