first post.

This blog is for English 349: Reading Contemporary Afrofuturisms taught by Lysa Rivera on the UW-Seattle campus. It will host to my personal & academic analysis of various texts and films that we view in class.

I have no personal attachment to the genre of science fiction though I've had plenty of exposures to it with films, such as Back to the Future, Star Wars, etc. But I plan to come into it with an open mind as the class pertains to African American science fiction. In any case, I look forward to interesting reads throughout the quarter!
