非洲未来主义（植根于非洲历史文化和非洲人身份的带有科幻元素的文学、音乐和艺术风格）
a style of literature, music, art, etc. that combines science-fiction elements (= stories or ideas about an imagined future) with ideas from the culture and history of Africa and African people
What makes Afrofuturism different from standard science fiction is that it’s steeped in African traditions and black identity. 非洲未来主义小说与一般科幻小说的不同之处在于它深深植根于非洲传统和黑人身份之中。
Afrofuturism is embodied in the movie Black Panther, the music of Janelle Monáe and Sun Ra, and the novels of Octavia Butler. 电影《黑豹》、珍妮尔·梦奈和桑·拉的音乐以及奥克塔维亚·巴特勒的小说都体现了非洲未来主义。
