A collaboration that blew us away if the Afrofutures Anthology from writers all over Africa (and its diasporas). Released yesterday at midnight, the anthology features a gorgeous cover from Naddya Olunya, futurities from creatives such as our very own Awuor Onyango, everyone's favorite Binyavanga (Binyavanga Wainaina of course) and a host of other big names in the literary community (Awuor is so excited to have her story anywhere near Nnedi Okorafor!)

I see Jalada’s Afrofuture issue as an expression of the Pan-African vision of Afrofuturism. Afrofuturistic art has always been about crossing the borders of time and space: it reaches into the distant past as well as the far future, and across the traumatic breach of the Middle Passage. I love that this anthology brings together voices and visions from different parts of Africa and the diaspora—to me, that’s the true spirit of Afrofuturism. (Sofia Somatar, Fiction Editor)
