      abstract = {This book interrogates the meeting point between  Afrofuturism and Black Sound Studies. Whereas Afrofuturism  is often understood primarily in relation to science  fiction and speculative fiction, it can also be examined  from a sonic perspective.  The sounds of Afrofuturism are  deeply embedded in the speculative - demonstrated in  mythmaking - in frameworks for songs and compositions, in  the personas of the artists, and in how the sounds are  produced. In highlighting the place of music within the  lived experiences of African Americans, the author analyses  how the perspectives of Black Sound Studies complement and  overlap with the discussion of sonic Afrofuturism. Focusing  upon blackness, technology, and sound, this unique text  offers key insights in how music partakes in imagining and  constructing the future.  This innovative volume will  appeal to students and scholars of sound studies,  musicology and African American studies.},
