Probably gonna be fuckin up some brits
since this is specifically Africanfuturist instead of Afrofuturist, which has an african diaspora/USA focus
Cool beans, seems interesting.
It's pretty gross how ignored a fucking giant arse slice of the world drenched in history and cultures is.
I recall reading an article by a black fiction writer who said that among the difficulties facing black authors is where their fiction is even placed in a bookstore; he (she? Can't recall who the author was) said their book was placed in the 'black interest' section, meaning their entirely fictional, sci-fi novel was sharing the same space with books about Martin Luther King. Most likely novels regarding Africanfuturism would also be placed in the same section and most wouldn't even know they exist.
Sounds exactly like how in music "R&B" is just the record label's way of saying 'black people music'.
