Equity, Justice, and Antiracism
by KaaVonia Hinton, Karen Michele Chandler
This innovative teaching guide helps educators bring Black speculative fiction—including science fiction, fantasy, and horror—into middle and high school classrooms in ways that spark meaningful conversations about equity, justice, and antiracism. Through carefully curated texts by authors like Octavia E. Butler and Nnedi Okorafor, students will explore powerful stories while developing critical thinking skills and learning how to take action for positive change in their own communities.
Teaching Black Speculative Fiction: Equity, Justice, and Antiracism edited by KaaVonia Hinton and Karen Michele Chandler offers innovative approaches to teaching Black speculative fiction (e.g., science fiction, fantasy, horror) in ways that will inspire middle and high school students to think, talk, and write about issues of equity, justice, and antiracism. The book highlights texts by seminal authors such as Octavia E. Butler and influential and emerging authors, including Nnedi Okorafor, Kacen Callender, B. B. Alston, Tomi Adeyemi, and Bethany C. Morrow. Each chapter in Teaching Black Speculative Fiction: introduces a Black speculative text and its author, describes how the text engages with issues of equity, justice, and/or antiracism, explains and describes how one theory or approach helps elucidate the key text’s concern with equity, justice, and/or antiracism, and offers engaging teaching activities that encourage students to read the focal text; that facilitate exploration of the text and a theoretical lens or critical approach; and that guide students to consider ways to extend the focus on equity, justice, and/or antiracism to action in their own lives and communities.
