Beschreibungen/Notizen
  • [...]the Neverlands have a family resemblance. . [...]our Neverlands can echo and reinforce structural inequality when not all children, youth, and young adults can land on its shores. [...]rethinking the cartographies of our imaginations requires more than a paint-by-numbers approach to endarkening speculative fiction for youth and young adults. Recent key critical works on Black American and African Diaspora speculative fiction of the 2010s include Ytasha L. Womack’s Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture (2013), Sheena C. Howard and Ronald L. Jackson II’s Black Comics: Politics of Race and Representation (2013), Andre Carrington’s Speculative Blackness: The Future of Race in Science Fiction (2016), Michelle D. Commander’s Afro-Atlantic Flight: Speculative Returns and the Black Fantastic (2017), Kinitra D. Brooks’s Searching for Sycorax: Black Women’s Hauntings of Contemporary Horror (2017), Diana Adesola Mafe’s Where No Black Woman Has Gone Before: Subversive Portrayals in Speculative Film and TV (2018), and Sami Schalk’s Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction (2018). In some desolate sense it was the creation place of Blacks in the New World Diaspora at the same time that it signified the end of traceable beginnings” (Brand 5). [...]Black stories became irrevocably entangled with Black embodiment.
