Critical Black Futures explores imaginative realms, Afrofutures, cities, bodies, art, and eras that exist simultaneously, parallel, in the present, counter, and continually materializing. This volume, drawing from W. E. B. Du Bois's own afrofuturistic short stories, delves into topics such as trans* super fluid blackness, challenging readers—including community leaders, academics, communities, and creatives—to venture into surreal imaginations. It presents itself as a speculative space that delves deeply into the foundations of human belief, transcending what some may consider absurd. Each contributor embarks on a captivating journey into the imagination, unearthing 'what was' while also offering valuable tools to explore the 'not yet.'
