The Black Speculative Arts Movement is a global community of intellectuals from the African Diaspora that seek to present, promote, and support human centered speculative imagination to catalyze streams of new thought that envision an inclusive future society.
This collection enters the global debate on the emerging field of Afrofuturism studies with a statement on the intersection of the future of African people with art, culture, technology, and politics by an international array of scholars and artists contributing to the discussion of Black futurity in the 21st century. The contributors analyze and respond to the invisibility or mischaracterization of Black people in the popular imagination, in science fiction, and in philosophies of history.
