Reviews

Across Africa—in fiction, film, comics, games, painting, photography, sculpture, digital arts, even architecture —artists have long been creating decolonial visions of their world, its alternatives, and possible futures. It’s well past time for the rest of us to sit up and pay attention—and Kimberly Cleveland’s wide-ranging exploration of twenty-first-century Africanfuturism is the ideal place to start. -- Mark Bould, University of the West of England
