Binti / Nnedi Okorafor

Public ISBD Title : Binti Material Type: printed text Authors: Nnedi Okorafor, Author Publisher: TOR Publication Date: 2015 Pagination: 90 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-7653-8525-3 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Fiction Women of Colour Keywords: race  sci-fi  fantasy  space Abstract: She left her home for the stars, but found more adventure than she bargained for. A tense and intimate coming-of-age story in space. Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti's stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach. If Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making, she will need both the gifts of her people and the wisdom enshrined within the university itself - but first she has to make it their alive.

The book depicts imagined futures from the perspectives of writers associated with what might loosely be termed the "third world." In its five sections -- The Body, Future Earth, Allegory, Encounters With the Alien, and Re-Imagining the Past -- are stories that are bold, imaginative, edgy; stories that are centred in the worlds of the "developing" nations; stories that dare to dream what we might develop into. The wealth of postcolonial literature has included many who have written insightfully about their pasts and presents. With So Long Been Dreaming, they creatively address their futures.(from back cover) So Long Been Dreaming : Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy [printed text] / Nalo Hopkinson, Editor ; Nisi Shawl (1955-), Author ; Andrea Hairston (1952-), Author ; Suzette Mayr (1967-), Author ; Larissa Lai (1967-), Author ; Eden Robinson, Author ; Nnedi Okorafor, Author ; Vandana Singh (1950-), Author ; Tamai Kobayashi, Author ; Sheree Thomas (1972-), Author ; Wayde Compton (1972-), Author ; Karin Lowachee (1973-), Author ; Greg van Eekhout, Author ; Celu Amberstone (1947-), Author ; Devorah Major (1952-), Author ; Carole McDonnell, Author ; Ven Begamudré (1956-), Author ; Opal Palmer Adisa (1954-), Author ; Maya Khankhoje, Author ; Tobias Buckell (1979-), Author ; Uppinder Mehan, Editor . - [S.l.] : Arsenal Pulp Press, 2004.
