Africanfuturism, Africanjujuism, Afropantheology… How do we describe those works of African literature which weave in aspects of the supernatural in everyday life?
We’ve spent quite a bit of time this year talking about such works and the plan is to do more of that this month. That’s why I figured, in this episode, we should take some time to reflect on how to contextualize these stories because, yes, it does matter what we call them!
