Recenzii
"An innovative, fresh take on black identity in the 21st Century. This book shows the unique diversity in the black community, one often mistaken to be monolithic, but is anything but. A must read." --Bob Meadows, People Magazine on Post Black
"At last! A real book about a deeply elusive topic--Black people and the possibility of what Sun Ra used to call the Alter Destiny. Ytasha Womack takes us on a quantum romp through the Afro-Multiverse: she explains some of the biggest, brightest, fastest, heaviest and loudest things in the known world--and beyond! At heart, Afrofuturism gives you a vast and intuitive feel for some of the most pressing issues facing young progressives in the early 21st Century." -- DJ Spooky
"Ytasha L. Womack's book Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture is one of the most comprehensive and relevant reads in the black science fiction realm to date. I highly recommend this book as it masterfully covers the genre's humble past, its flourishing present and promising future. This is definitely a fantastically, engaging read. I couldn't put it down." -- Jarvis Sheffield, The Black Science Fiction Society
"When I coined the term "Afrofuturism" in 1992, who knew young cultural critics like Ytasha Womack would make it their own? Accessibly written, with an emphasis on the politics of the here and now, Afrofuturism beckons us through an intellectual wormhole, into a universe where dark matter is, at last, visible." -- Mark Dery, cultural critic, author, lecturer
"This book is the gravity that holds the universe of ideas that define Afrofuturism. Finally, the starting point for our welcomed explorers." --King Britt, universal sonic architect
"A smooth blend between a personal memoir and a reference source for those interested in delving into the world of afrofuturism." -- Futuristically Ancient
"Provocative and highly detailed, accessible to both geeks and laymen... a fascinating glimpse into what Sun Ra called 'the Alter Destiny.'" -- Smooth Magazine
