Crossing Genres, Crossing Worlds: Women of Color in Speculative Literature
“The Future is Female” except in sci-fi, where after a century of visionaries like Octavia Butler and Begum Rokeya, it still appears white and male. What happens when women of color not only reimagine the barriers of genre, but of time and space as well? Four writers speculating across fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and even code share their work and discuss how their experiences serve, in Butler’s words, “as guides to the kind of world we seem to be creating”—not only our future, but our now.
