Black Sci-Fi: Stories from the End of the World
September 7, 2021 12:50 PM Subscribe
A documentary on BBC Radio 4 presented by writer and abolitionist Walidah Imarisha on the power - and the rich history - of speculative, visionary fiction by black authors in the UK, USA and Africa, and how activism is a creative act of bringing new realities into being. In conversation with multidisciplinary artists Moor Mother and Rasheedah Philips, Nigerian-American writer Nnedi Okorafor, and British feminist writer and researcher Lola Olufemi.

This seems like an excellent comment to the themes of N. K. Jemisin's How Long 'Til Black Future Month?, which I just started reading. Thank you!

Nnedi Okorafor's Binti stories are wonderful, in case you haven't read them.
