hardcover. New York. 2000. Warner Books. Reprinted Print on Demand Hardcover Edition. Some Wear to Bottom Corner, Otherwise Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket. 0446525839. 427 pages. hardcover. keywords: Science Fiction African Diaspora Literature Anthology. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This volume introduces black science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction writers to the generations of readers who have not had the chance to explore the scope and diversity among African-American writers. This anthology s critical and historical importance is indisputable. But that s not why it will prove to be the best anthology of 2000 in both the speculative and the literary fiction fields. It s because the stories are great: entertaining, imaginative, insightful, sharply characterized, and beautifully written. The earliest story in Dark Matter is acclaimed literary author Charles W. Chesnutt s The Goophered Grapevine (1887), in which an aging ex-slave tells a chilling tale of cursed land to a white Northerner buying a Southern plantation. In The Comet (1920), W.E.B. Du Bois portrays the rich white woman and the poor black man who may be the only survivors of an astronomical near-miss. In George S. Schuyler s Black No More (1931), an excerpt from the satirical novel of the same name, an African American scientist invents a machine that can turn blacks white. More recent reprints include science fiction master Samuel R. Delany s Nebula Award-winning Aye, and Gomorrah (1967), which delineates the socio-sexual effects of asexual astronauts; Charles R. Saunders s heroic fantasy Gimmile s Songs (1984), in which a woman warrior encounters a singer with a frightening, compelling magic in ancient West Africa; MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Octavia E. Butler s powerful The Evening and the Morning and the Night (1987), in which the cure for cancer creates a terrifying new disease of compulsive self-mutilation; and Derrick Bell s angry, riveting The Space Traders (1992), in which aliens offer to trade their advanced technology to the U.S. in exchange for its black population. Other reprints include Ark of Bones (1974) by author-poet-folklorist Henry Dumas; Future Christmas (1982) by master satirist Ishmael Reed; Rhythm Travel (1996) by playwright-poet-critic Amiri Baraka (who has also written as LeRoi Jones and Imamu Amiri Baraka); and The African Origins of UFOs (2000) by London-based West Indian author Anthony Joseph. Most of the stories in Dark Matter are original; these range even more widely in their concerns and themes. In the generation ship of Linda Addison s Twice, at Once, Separated, a Yanomami Indian tribe preserves its culture in coexistence with technology, while visions tear a young woman from her own wedding. Bestselling novelist Steven Barnes examines degrees of privilege and deprivation when an African American woman artist is trapped in an African concentration camp in his unflinching contribution, The Woman in the Wall. In John W. Campbell Award winner Nalo Hopkinson s sexy, scary Ganger (Ball Lightning), two lovers drifting apart try to reconnect through the separation of virtual sex. A mystic power awakens in the devastated future of Ama Patterson s gorgeous and tough Hussy Strutt. An artist s infidelity changes two generations in Leone Ross s astute, magic-realist Tasting Songs. In Nisi Shawl s sharp, witty mythic fantasy At the Huts of Ajala, the spirit of a modern woman must outwit a god before she is even born. Others contributing new stories are Tananarive Due, Robert Fleming, Jewelle Gomez, Akua Lezli Hope, Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, Kalamu ya Salaam, Kiini Ibura Salaam, Evie Shockley, and Darryl A. Smith.
