Mark Dery, “Black to the Future: Interview with Samuel R. Delaney, Greg Tate, and Tricia Rose” review

Mark Dery is the writer who coined the term “Afrofuturism” in 1994. Read the beginning of the chapter (p. 179-187) by Mark Dery, “Black to the Future: Interview with Samuel R. Delaney, Greg Tate, and Tricia Rose” and write a one-page reaction/reflection paper on the following: 1. Why does Dery select these three writers for interviews? 1. What does Dery mean by the claims (p. 180) that African Americans “are the descendants of alien abductees” and are in a “subaltern position” like the science fiction genre? 1. What other thoughts and ideas does reading prompt for you? Your paper should be at least 250 words long. (Yes, I will count them.) It should be typed in a standard format, double-spaced, using one-inch margins, and a standard font (like Times New Roman). Use full sentences and spell-check and grammar-check it before you submit it.
