Kurzfassung:
"From the cosmologies of ancient Black civilizations to the era of slavery and the present day, African Americans have reimagined the futures and possibilities of Black people across the globe through Afrofuturism. Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures investigates the past, present, and future of this evolving platform of Black identity and explores its expression through literature, music, art, film, fashion, and activism. Essays from key scholars, authors, and practitioners reveal Afrofuturism's historic and poignant engagement with African American intellectual history and popular culture. Some 125 iconic Smithsonian objects, historic photographs, exciting comics, and stunning artworks accompany the text. Through these pieces, the book illustrates Afrofuturism as a movement that always looks forward even as it looks back and explores its transformative power to not simply imagine a better, more equitable world, but to actively work toward one." --
