I'm thrilled to talk with one of the world experts on Afrofuturism, Race & Science-Fiction: Professor Isiah Lavender III. We'll talk about how science-fiction and racism were interwoven in his personnal life, how and why he became interested in the study of race in science fiction. The essay "Black to the Future" written by Mark Dery in 1994 coined the word "Afrofuturism" and proposed a groundbreaking way to look at the African-American diaspora, a milestone for Pr Lavender, although he has critiques and additions. Endlessly fascinating. Tune in!
