Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor's essay defining africanfuturism is being shared and quoted again. Writing on her blog, Okorafor distinguishes africanfuturism — work rooted directly in African culture, history and visions of the continent's future — from afrofuturism, which she argues centers the African-American experience. Readers continue to circulate the piece as a touchstone in debates about the proper label for African science fiction.
Why now: The essay remains a key reference point in ongoing discussions about African science fiction terminology and identity.
