AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'I am an author of Indigenous Futurisms, a phrase coined by Aninishaabe academic Grace Dillon to describe a form of storytelling whereby Indigenous authors use the speculative fiction genre to challenge colonialism and imagine Indigenous futures (1–3). Indigenous Futurisms present both challenges and opportunities for Indigenous storytellers as we speak our truths to the settler-states—and the settler literacies—that were created out of, and continue to benefit from, our dispossession.' (Introduction)

This is to be expected in an election cycle, and particularly in the context of contention over policies on various social and environmental issues. When connected to the larger container of ‘nation’, ideas of place become politically loaded. There is a responsibility, in this, for writers. With the power and privilege of voting comes the ethical demand that the publishing writer be conscious of what they are contributing to social discourse.' (Publication introduction) 2019 pg. 121-134
