With a twofold aim to entertain and enlighten, Afrofuturists strive to break down racial, ethnic, and all social limitations to empower and free individuals to be themselves. This book introduces readers to the burgeoning artists creating Afrofuturist works, the history of innovators in the past, and the wide range of subjects they explore. From the sci-fi literature of Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and NK Jemisin to the musical cosmos of Sun Ra, George Clinton, and the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, to the visual and multimedia artists inspired by African Dogon myths and Egyptian deities, topics range from the "alien" experience of blacks in America to the "wake up" cry that peppers sci-fi literature, sermons, and activism. Interviews with rappers, composers, musicians, singers, authors, comic illustrators, painters, and DJs, as well as Afrofuturist professors, provide a firsthand look at this fascinating movement. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican diaspora$xSocial conditions 606 $aFuturologists 606 $aScience fiction films$xInfluence 606 $aScience fiction$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican diaspora$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aFuturologists. 615 0$aScience fiction films$xInfluence. 615 0$aScience fiction$xSocial aspects. 676 $a809.3/8762093529 700 $aWomack$b Ytasha$01814548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966996903321 996 $aAfrofuturism$94368503 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03391nam 22005293 450 001 9911006720403321 005 20241212080256.0 010 $a1-83724-384-0 010 $a1-83953-642-X 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31576226 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31576226 035 $a(CKB)36951465100041 035 $a(Exl-AI)31576226 035 $a(OCoLC)1478702752 035 $a(EXLCZ)9936951465100041 100 $a20241212d2024 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDeep Reinforcement Learning for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces and UAV Empowered Smart 6G Communications 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aStevenage :$cInstitution of Engineering & Technology,$d2024. 210 4$dİ2025. 215 $a1 online resource (270 pages) 225 1 $aTelecommunications Series 311 08$a1-83953-641-1 327 $aContents -- Preface -- About the authors -- Part I.
