Description:
Out of This World: Afro-German Afrofuturism examines how contemporary Afro-German authors and artists use Afrofuturist tropes and concepts to critique German racism and colonial history, Eurocentrism, and binary thinking about race, culture, and gender identity.
Review Quotes: "This study deftly analyzes a remarkably fresh array of innovative materials. Layne expertly weaves close readings of aesthetic form together with theoretical insights into the importance of Black German culture today for refining and revising transnational concepts of Afrofuturism."-- Leslie A. Adelson, Cornell University
