The Race & Podcast: American Architecture as a Settler Colonial Project: Octavia Butler's Afrofuturism
Update: 2021-08-28
Description
Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis Trilogy, published in 1987-1989 and republished in 2000 as Lilith’s Brood, follows the generational struggle of humanity against the alien race called the Oankali. Through an analysis of the events of the book, this podcast will situate the trilogy as a precursor to Afrofuturism within a context of settler colonialism. Through our conversation we will briefly delve into: how settler-colonialism has historically approached indigeneity; feminist models of resistance; race and representation; and the language settler colonialism uses to categorize architecture.
