Afrofuturism

By:

RainierBeachTeens

The Seattle Public Library

Community-created list

Afrofuturism combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, and magic realism with Afrocentric & non-Western belief systems to tell stories that center and celebrate black people throughout time - especially in the future! These stories critique present day oppression and force readers to examine history, the present, and the future. This list was created by a librarian at The Seattle Public Library.
