Nigerian SFF

Over the last several years, African - and particularly Nigerian - science fiction and fantasy have increasingly come into view for the English-speaking and -reading public, but it’s fair to say it has a long way to go until it is widely regarded as mainstream. This essay from Abraham Aondoana makes the convincing case that that’s exactly where it should be: that literature and films and comics from Nigerian creators should be part of what white Australian, British, and American consumers - and people everywhere else, of course - are seeking out, enjoying, and learning from. As with so many of these essays, sorrynotsorry if you come away with an extensive reading list.
