Is Everything Afrofuturism?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Lately I've been on a number of panels where the topic of what is and what is not Afrofuturism has been discussed. There are some that feel all science fiction, fantasy, horror, paranormal, urban fantasy, and other creative genres created by people of African/African Diaspora descent fall under the description, and they give valid arguments. Then there are others, like myself, that see Afrofuturism as a subgenre with a distinct definition. What do you think?  This is not a discussion to divide; it's purpose is to seek clarification. The one thing that is clear to me is that we should create, name, and define such things ourselves.
