| Abstract: | "Science fiction imagines aliens and global crises as world-unifying events, both a threat and promise for the future. Black Apocalypse is an introduction to the history and future of Black engagement with speculative futures. From Octavia Butler to W.E.B. Du Bois to Sun Ra, Tavia Nyong'o shows that the end of the world is crucial to Afrofuturism and reframes the binary of Afropessimism and Afrofuturism to explore their similarities. Interweaving Black trans, queer, and feminist theories, Nyong'o examines the social, technological, and existential threats facing our species and reflects shifting anxieties and hopes for the future. Exploring the apocalypse in movies, art, literature, and music, this book considers the endless afterlives of slavery and inequality and revives the radical Black imagination to envision the future of Blackness. Black Apocalypse argues that Black aesthetics take us to the edge of this world and into the next"-- |
