Keywords: Africanfuturism, Afrofuturism, energy humanities, Kodwo Eshun, Nnedi Okorafor, petrofiction, slow violence.‘We have come to refuel your future’: Asphalt Afrofuturism and African Futurities. Review: This article underwent anonymous peer review. ![]() Dramatically re-envisioning the conditions of Nigeria’s social, political, and economic present, the novel makes connections between environmental devastation enabled by global capital in concert with state power, and the violence and trauma visited disproportionately upon the populations of the Global South. Utilising traditional African iconography and mythology in concert with radical futurity, Lagoon challenges many of the assumptions and tropes of mainstream sf, while also drawing attention to political, social, and environmental conditions in Nigeria. Lagoon is an ideal site in which to explore the environmental and political concerns that are common themes in the fantastical literature of West Africa, and to demonstrate the efficacy of broadly Afrofuturist aesthetics, both in problematising and reimagining environmental politics in modern Nigeria. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Pearl Harbor by Richard Freeman![]() ![]() It was the greatest act of treachery, an unprovoked war of aggression.
