Ytasha Womack, who wrote a book about Afrofuturism, defined the movement as \u201can intersection of imagination, technology, the future, and liberation. . . . Whether through literature, visual arts, music, or grassroots organizing, Afrofuturists redefine culture and notions of blackness for today and the future. . . . Afrofuturism combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, Afrocentricity, and magical realism with non-Western beliefs. In some cases, it\u2019s a total re-envisioning of the past and speculation about the future rife with cultural critiques.\u201d<\/p>\n
