This chapter considers forms of decolonial praxis among women in Assia Djebar’s Ombre sultane (A Sister to Scheherazade) (1987) and Nalo Hopkinson’s Midnight Robber (2000), alongside the continuation of violent gender relations in post- and neo-colonial futures. If African futurist and Afrofuturist texts are a series of intertextual cultural suggestions addressed to questions of nation, globe and locality—before, during and after liberation and emancipation—then these texts offer ways of thinking possible futures in which new forms of decolonial sociality might be forged. Practices of decolonial world-building are shared between characters (person, nonhuman, ecosystem, network), invoking ethical sensibilities for cultivating long-term, habit-forming and habit-remembering change. |
