Black Sci-Fi Short Stories

Beschreibung

New stories from modern black writers, many published here for the first time, explore the themes of science fiction: discovery, time-travel, genetics and more. This deluxe edition presents them alongside storytellers of an older generation who evoked the living dystopia of slavery: Martin Delany, Pauline Hopkins, Sutton Griggs and W.E.B. Du Bois.
