Mothership Rising, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A mind-expanding anthology of early Black science fiction---the visionary origins of Afrofuturism. The future is waiting---come aboard.

This collection, introduced by Hugo and Nebula Award--winning author Nisi Shawl, remixes the past to reveal a tradition of speculative thought too long overlooked: the pioneering Black writers, playwrights, and poets whose future-facing imaginations helped lay the groundwork for artists from Samuel R. Delany and Octavia E. Butler to Parliament-Funkadelic and Janelle Monáe.

Edited by Lisa Yaszek, Mothership Rising gathers early twentieth-century visions---utopian and dystopian alike---from Pauline Hopkins, W. E. B. Du Bois, Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Marita Bonner, George S. Schuyler, and others. Here are strange technologies, hidden histories, cosmic journeys, and revolutionary futures---transmissions from an earlier twentieth century, received now as a call to imagine otherwise.
