In AFROFuturism
Dirty Words, the reader will engage with raunchy ramblings, sex-crazed
speculations, dark fantasies, visually offensive offal, and radical racial rage.
It is an illustrated collection of speculative stories and poems written by
Stafford L Battle for over 30 years. His literary and illustrative exposition
explores the science and sorcery of the Black experience in historical narratives
and the sci-fi future of things to come.
AFROFuturism is
more than an academic retelling of Black tragedies in the Western world. Dirty Words
thrust readers into realms that will appall, enlighten, and intrigue. A Black
sheriff with dangerous abilities in the Wild West can stop bullets. A beautiful
aunt can travel intergalactic space to seduce an African demon. A ferocious
teenager will kill ancient reptilian monsters to save his grandma and get a
strong drink. And what if Abraham Lincoln was the real evil villain causing the
death of millions of soldiers?
This is AFROcentric speculative
fiction, exploring the “What If” using mature language and adult themes and
being unafraid to expose complex realities.
The message of the
tales is that if we rely on intellectual reflection, perseverance, and luck, we
can create a better future for everyone, regardless of perceived race or
culture.
We are all
African.
