Paperback. Condition: New. A revelatory history of Black radio productions from the 1950s to the presentAudiofuturism uncovers the vibrant, overlooked history of radio adaptations that placed Black speculative writing before mass audiences, showing how sound shaped the politics and pleasures of twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture. While adaptation studies has long privileged film and sound studies has centered Black music, andré m. carrington redirects attention to radio drama to demonstrate how performance translates the Black fantastic imagination into an audible cultural heritage. Drawing on scripts, surviving recordings, production files, and author archives, the book reconstructs how radio made listeners hear literature differently and how those sonic interpretations reverberate through American Studies, media history, and Black literary traditions.Organized as a scan across the dial, the study moves from World War II to the digital age. It begins with New World A-Coming, a wartime series inspired by Roi Ottley that folded antiracist reporting and Popular Front ideals into weekly dramatizations aligned with the Black press's Double Victory campaign against fascism at home and abroad. It then tunes to bohemian 1960s New York, where Samuel R. Delany's The Star-Pit became a striking radio play in which voice, silence, and experimental effects stage queer futurity. The book next considers the 2002 Seeing Ear Theatre adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's Kindred, showing how audible epigraphs drawn from enslaved women's narratives converse with Butler's negotiations over dramatic audio rights, and how per­formance intensifies the novel's reckoning with slavery and memory. Finally, Audiofuturism listens to the BBC's 2016 adaptation of Toni Morrison's Beloved, written by Patricia Cumper, to track how Black British theatre traditions and national broadcasting reshape a canonical American ghost story for twenty-first-century ears.Across these case studies, carrington shows how radio dramatists and authors collaborated, compromised, and innovated to make speculative literature speak. The result is a fresh account of adaptation that enlarges the archive of Black sound, reframes radio as a site of cultural world-making, and invites scholars and general readers to listen again to the past in order to imagine different futures.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In Speculative Blackness, AndrÉ M. Carrington analyzes the highly racialized genre of speculative fiction-including science fiction, fantasy, and utopian works, along with their fan cultures-to illustrate the relationship between genre conventions in media and the meanings ascribed to blackness in the popular imagination.Carrington's argument about authorship, fandom, and race in a genre that has been both marginalized and celebrated offers a black perspective on iconic works of science fiction. He examines the career of actor Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed the character Uhura in the original Star Trek television series and later became a recruiter for NASA, and the spin-off series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, set on a space station commanded by a black captain. He recovers a pivotal but overlooked moment in 1950s science fiction fandom in which readers and writers of fanzines confronted issues of race by dealing with a fictitious black fan writer and questioning the relevance of race to his ostensible contributions to the 'zines. Carrington mines the productions of Marvel comics and the black-owned comics publisher Milestone Media, particularly the representations of black sexuality in its flagship title, Icon. He also interrogates online fan fiction about black British women in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Harry Potter series. Throughout this nuanced analysis, Carrington theorizes the relationship between race and genre in cultural production, revealing new understandings of the significance of blackness in twentieth-century American literature and culture.…
