The Complexities Of Black Speculative Fiction Can’t All Fit Under Afrofuturism

The term was coined, by a white writer, in 1993. It might have been a good start, but there are issues: “It lacks room to conceive of Blackness outside of the Black American diaspora or a Blackness independent from any relationship to whiteness, erasing the long history of Blackness that existed before the centuries of violent oppression by whiteness — and how that history creates the possibility of imagining the free Black futures.” Hence the terms, coined and popularized by writer Nnedi Okorafor, Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism. – Los Angeles Review of Books
