Decolonizing as an SF Writer
- May. 14th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
In the past few weeks, I've been quite preoccupied with conversations on colonialism and identity, so much so that I quite forgot to update here. I think twitter sort of took up my life for quite a while.
As a result of these conversations, I wrote an essay on Decolonizing as an SF Writer. The essay has been published by Djibril Al-Ayad (editor of the Future Fire) and by sf/f writer Kate Elliott.
You can read the essay and leave your comments at Kate Elliott's blog or at her livejournal (
