Question
An author’s note in a blog post outlining an emerging genre with this suffix jokes “My middle name is Nkemdili, which means “Let mine be mine.” This was inevitable, lol.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Give this suffix of a subgenre of speculative fiction coined by Nnedi Okorafor, who proposed it as an alternative to another genre with this suffix exemplified by the work of Samuel R. Delany and Octavia Butler.
ANSWER: futurism [accept Africanfuturism or Afrofuturism]
[10h] Africanfuturism, which centers Africa rather than the West, has its roots in a novel by this author set in the Saharan utopia Shavi. This author also wrote Second Class Citizen and The Joys of Motherhood.
ANSWER: Buchi Emecheta (The first novel is The Rape of Shavi.)
[10e] Because this fictional country’s first outpost is in Oakland, California, Okorafor defines it as Afrofuturism rather than Africanfuturism. This country is led by T’Challa.
ANSWER: Wakanda [or Kingdom of Wakanda]
