For the last day of Black History // Black Future Month, Sistah Scifi is highlighting Nubia: The Awakening. Nubia is an Afrofuturist, YA science fiction novel by @clarenceahaynes and @omarepps that weaves in the themes of climate change, class division, and references West and Southern African cultural traditions. Clarence A. Haynes says, "Nubia is oriented towards Black Futures, offering a fantastic take on how our world could evolve, keeping in mind things like climate change and tech innovations." In this clip, the authors discuss the research that went into developing the world of the Nubian cultural enclave nestled in the New York borough of Manhattan in the year 2098.
