I've been drawn to Okorafor's work since "Noor," and now I'm equally compelled by her larger vision/project for Nigerian literature and Africanfuturism. And now with a title like this? Ready!

Fast-becoming an uber-fan of SG Jones, this is a 3-volume graphic novel of time traveling in an effort to prevent an environmental apocalypse. At its core, stop the colonization of the Americas.

This copy I read over 40 years ago now (dang), and it's overdue for a refresh; this was my first history reading that pushed hard against my Western-mythicized education. Even so, this white author was 20 years before Vizenor's concept of "survivance."
