Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery,
London, this is an expressive exploration of Black popular culture
at its most wildly imaginative, artistically ambitious and
politically urgent. In The Black Fantastic assembles art and
imagery from across the African diaspora that embraces ideas of the
mythic and the speculative. It brings to life the forces that shape
Afrofuturism - the cultural movement that conjures otherworldly
visions out of the everyday of Black experience - and beyond,
looking at how speculative fictions in Black art and culture are
boldly reimagining perspectives on race, gender, identity and the
body in the 21st century.Standing apart from Western narratives of
progress and modernity - based as they are on the historical
subjugation of people of colour - the book explores how Black
artists are drawing inspiration from African-originated myth,
knowledge systems and spiritual practices to confound the Western
dichotomy between the real and unreal, the natural and the
supernatural. With 250 illustrations spanning the spheres of
photography, painting, sculpture, cinema, literature and
architecture, this book reaches across time, space and art form,
drawing together everything from works by leading visual artists
such as Kara Walker, Chris Ofili and Lina Iris Viktor to
groundbreaking films like Black Panther and Get Out and the radical
politics of pan-Africanism. Divided into three sections -
'Invocation', 'Migration' and 'Liberation' - each introduced by
Eshun, the book also includes two commissioned essays by Michelle
D.Commander and Kameelah L. Martin, as well as selected text
extracts from other voices. Rich in ideas and vast in scope, In The
Black Fantastic presents a thrilling and timely survey of a
movement in which fantasy is the gateway to creative and cultural
liberation.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
