Description

Caribbean Futurism and Beyond is a tripartite combination of interviews with writers of the sf (speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and folklore) genre, literary and cultural analysis of those interviews within the context of seven discrete yet overlapping dimensions – folklore, mythology, children’s and young adult literature, science, technology, climate disaster, and identity; and a theoretical basis of Caribbean futurism as an esthetic practice reflecting not just future but also past and present experiences of Caribbean people. The combination of interviews, analysis, and theory contributes to the ongoing questions that have been and will likely remain central to being and belonging to the Caribbean. The authors share their creative processes, inspirations, and the unique ways they address Caribbean experiences through stories that expand the boundaries of the genre.
