About Afrofuturism 2.0
"The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for most of the 20th century, especially in the North American-African diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word 'afrofuturism' in 1993, Alondra Nelson--as a member of an online forum--along with other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that '[a]frofuturism has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis, criticism, and cultural production that addresses the intersections between race and technology.'
