## Description

The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for most of the 20th century, especially in the north American African diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word "afrofuturism" in 1993, Alondra Nelson as a member of an online forum, along with other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that “AfroFuturism has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis, criticism and cultural production that addresses the intersections between race and technology.” Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of Astroblackness represents a transition from previous ideas related to afrofuturism that were formed in the late 20th century around issues of the digital divide, music and literature. Afrofuturism 2.0 expands and broadens the discussion around the concept to include religion, architecture, communications, visual art, philosophy and reflects its current growth as an emerging global Pan African creative phenomenon.

Review: Required Reading For The 21st Century - Excellent resource. Full disclosure it reads somewhat like a textbook and so one has to struggle with it in many places some chapters more than others and this because It suffers from being in a position where some of the authors try to write in a manner more authorative than is necessary given that It Provides des such valuable information regarding this nascent movement. That aside I whole heartedly recommend it.
Review: I love it! - It is a meta-analysis of Africana studies. I love it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it!

It is a meta-analysis of Africana studies. I love it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astro-Blackness?
*by 2***W on November 14, 2023*

A useful read for all those interested in Astrofuturism. However, even with distinguishing the moniker "Astro-Blackness," I can say that I found the book helpful in truly advancing this notion. Certainly, technology examples, graphic art, and web resources offer an interesting and valuable lens for expanding understandings of Afrofuturism.
