A new episode of What Mad Universe?!? is now live. In this one, Jess Nevins joins us to discuss African American author Pauline Hopkins' Of One Blood - a 1903 novel about a lost kingdom in Africa that's been untouched by the horrors of colonialism.

Chapter Twenty-One: Out of Africa!

Of One Blood, by Pauline Hopkins, is a turn-of-the-century novel with all the fantastical genre trappings you could ask for: reincarnation, psychic projections, and a Biblical lost kingdom still thriving in the present. But this book is special: it's written by a black woman and deals specifically with the African-American experience. Jess Nevins joins us once again to look at this interesting signpost in cultural and genre history. Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

Here's preview of a page from an upcoming story in my webcomic The Apex Society that will feature Telessar - the aforementioned African city-state (which is a sort of proto-Wakanda, at least in theme). #art #afrofuturism #afrofuture #africa #african #pulp #pulpnovels #podcast #podcasts #fantasy #fantasyart #panafricanism
