Write a blog exploring in depth the assigned text(s) from this module. The blog must include detailed discussion of Binti, demonstrating thoughtful close reading; inclusion of Black Panther in the argument is optional. Consider this blog as practice for the final paper. Aim to move beyond simply making observations to drawing significant conclusions and taking a stand on the politics or aesthetics of the work. The blog should formulate an argument and support it with textual evidence such as specific examples and quotations. The blog should be 400 words minimum.
(1) Explain how Binti and Black Panther exemplify Afrofuturism and/or Africanfuturism. To what extent do these works fit into the definitions of science fiction offered by Gunn and Suvin studied earlier in the semester. Does the definition of science fiction need to be altered or expanded to account for Afrofuturism and/or Africanfuturism?
