With a twofold aim to entertain and enlighten, Afrofuturists strive to break down racial, ethnic, and all social limitations to empower and free individuals to be themselves. This book introduces readers to the burgeoning artists creating Afrofuturist works, the history of innovators in the past, and the wide range of subjects they explore. From the sci-fi literature of Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and NK Jemisin to the musical cosmos of Sun Ra, George Clinton, and the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, to the visual and multimedia artists inspired by African Dogon myths and Egyptian deities, topics range from the alien experience of blacks in America to the wake up cry that peppers sci-fi literature, sermons, and activism. Interviews with rappers, composers, musicians, singers, authors, comic illustrators, painters, and DJs, as well as Afrofuturist professors, provide a firsthand look at this fascinating movement. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Science fiction|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85118629|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 African Americans|xRace identity.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001973 650 0 Science fiction films|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118660|xInfluence.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002005444 650 0 Futurologists.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh95001967 650 0 African diaspora|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91005631|xSocial conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 7 Science fiction|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1108598 650 7 Science fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108566 650 7 African Americans|xRace identity.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799666 650 7 Science fiction films.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1108616 650 7 Futurologists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/936792 650 7 African diaspora.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799755 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWomack, Ytasha.|tAfrofuturism.|bFirst edition|z9781613747964|w(DLC) 2013025755 |w(OCoLC)854285645 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=641893|zOnline eBook.
