Publication on the music, literature, and art of Afrofuturism. Womack introduces readers to the community of artists creating Afrofuturist works, the innovators from the past and the wide range of subjects they explore. From the sci-fi literature of Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler and N. K. Jemisin to the musical cosmos of Sun Ra and George Clinton and the visual and multimedia artists inspired by African Dogon myths and Egyptian deities, the book’s topics range from the “alien” experience of blacks in America to the “wake up” cry that peppers sci-fi literature, sermons, and activism.
