Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, this is an expressive exploration of Black popular culture at its most wildly imaginative, artistically ambitious, and politically urgent.

In the Black Fantastic assembles art and imagery from across the African diaspora that embraces ideas of the mythic and the speculative. Neither Afrofuturism nor Magic Realism, but inhabiting its own universe, In the Black Fantastic brings to life a cultural movement that conjures otherworldly visions out of the everyday Black experience—and beyond—looking at how speculative fictions in Black art and culture are boldly reimagining perspectives on race, gender, identity, and the body in the 21st century.

Transcending time, space, and genre to span art, design, fashion architecture, film, literature, and popular culture from African myth to future fantasies and beyond, this vital, timely, and compelling publication is an expressive exploration of Black popular culture at its most wildly imaginative, artistically ambitious, and politically urgent.
