A solid collection of essays on Afrofuturism that, for the most part, I would say could be enjoyed by readers with varying degrees of prior familiarity with both literary theory and Afrofuturism. I particularly appreciated the framing of this collection - the introduction and conclusion as well as opening with an Author Roundable discussing Afrofuturism itself (as a concept, as a framework, as a genre, what it includes and doesn't, and the varying degrees to which authors would describe their own work as Afrofuturist). In their conclusion the authors write that with this collection, they "wanted to make conscious the utility of Afrofuturism as a critical term in the battle to stake claims for people of color - and people of all colors - in the future imaginary" [231]. This wide ranging collection, covering a variety of both older and very contemporary works, is one I'd recommend.
