Afrofuturism 2.0

Autorentext
Motivated by five plus years of judgment for not appearing disabled enough, Anderson wrote this book as a simple visual tool to make clear that while appearing normal, living with Chronic Fatigue is a life-changing and controlling disease with a complex combination and fluctuation of symptoms that cannot be "seen."

Adjusting to change, letting go of control, focusing on well-being, practicing yoga, and simply trusting and accepting what is has been a profound learning experience for Anderson.

Klappentext
This collection examines the applicability of contemporary expressions of Afrofuturism to the fields of Africana studies, cultural studies, and other areas of academic inquiry. The essays within this book identify the twenty-first-century expressions of Afrofuturism emerging in the areas of metaphysics such as speculative philosophy, religion, visual studies, performance, art, and the philosophy of science and technology.
