Description

This Routledge book explores how African authors and artists engage with themes of the future and technology across diverse creative forms. While Afrofuturism emerged in the 1990s as a framework for examining African diaspora culture alongside science and technology, this study argues that African literature and arts have long reflected futurist concerns through varied approaches including speculative writing, science fiction, magical realism, mythology, spirituality, performance and oral traditions. The book investigates the intersection of imagination and innovation within African creative practice, tracing how artists employ supernatural elements, myth and speculative narrative to envision and critique technological futures. It presents a comprehensive analysis of how African voices have shaped conversations about futurity across multiple artistic mediums and cultural expressions.
