Sneed illuminates the interplay of Black religious thought with science fiction narratives to present a bold case for Afrofuturism as an important channel for Black spirituality. In the process, he challenges the assumed primacy of the Black church as the arbiter of Black religious life. Incorporating analyses of Octavia Butler's Parable books, Janelle Monáe's Afrofuturistic saga, Star Trek's Captain Benjamin Sisko, Marvel's Black Panther, and Sun Ra and the Nation of Islam, Sneed demonstrates how Afrofuturism has contributed to Black visions of the future. He also investigates how Afrofuturism has influenced religious scholarship that looks to Black cultural production as a means of reimagining Blackness in the light of the sacred. The result is an expansive new look at the power of science fiction and Afrofuturism to center the diversity of Black spirituality.-- $c Publisher website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-172) and index. 505 00 $g Conclusion: $t "The Shape of Things to Come": Future Directions in the Intersection of Afrofuturism and Black Religious Thought. $t Black Religious Thought and Afrofuturism -- $g PART II: INTERSECTIONS -- $t Octavia Butler as Architect of Intersectional Afrofuturism -- $t "It's Code": Janelle MonaÌe, the ArchAndroid, and Queer Afrofuturistic Salvation -- $t Walking in the Path of the Prophets: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Far Beyond the Stars," and Black Prophetic Visions -- $t "Wakanda Forever!": Black Panther, the Divine Feminine, and the Subversion of Toxic Masculinity in the Western Superhero Monomyth -- $g PART III: AFROFUTURISTIC THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS -- $t Space is the place: Sun Ra, the Nation of Islam, Afrofuturism, eschatology, and utopia -- $t "Who am I?
