Description

Explore the deep connections between African creativity and the concept of the future in this academic work from Routledge Studies in African Philosophy. While Afrofuturism emerged as a term in the 1990s to examine the intersection of diaspora culture with science and technology, this book provides a broader perspective. It argues that African literature and various art forms have long engaged with themes of futurism through many different lenses. Readers will learn how speculative writing, science fiction, and magical realism contribute to this dialogue. The text examines how spirituality, myth, the supernatural, and performance serve as ways to reflect on the future. By looking at images and oral resources, the book offers a comprehensive look at how African authors and artists navigate technology and science through their creative expressions. This is an essential resource for those studying African philosophy, literature, and the evolution of speculative arts.
