Extrapolation<\/em>\u00a0special issue on Indigenous Futurism, edited by Grace L. Dillon, (Anishinaabe), Michael Levy, and John Rieder.<\/p>\n

In the last decade and a half, a number of scholars have explored the way that SF throughout the last century and a half\u00a0 has borne a close relationship to colonial, and later postcolonial history, discourses, and ideologies. One of the most prominent features of colonial ideology in SF has been the widespread assumption that the future will be determined by the technological and cultural dominance of the West, the \u201cprogress\u201d of which often entails the assumption that non-Western cultures will either disappear or\u00a0 assimilate themselves to Western norms. Indigenous Futurism designates a growing movement of writing, both fictional and critical, that envisions the future from the point of view of Indigenous histories, traditions, and knowledges\u2014and in so doing situates the present and the past in ways that challenge (neo\/post)colonial ideologies of progress. This special issue of\u00a0Extrapolation<\/em>\u00a0aims to bring together critical and scholarly explorations of and responses to fictional or theoretical and critical work in or on Indigenous SF, where SF is broadly conceived of as including science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, and slipstream.<\/div>\n
