Black Science Fiction - Mark Sinker

Seminal article from 1992. Funny how the mind plays tricks, but I was talking about this recently with someone and though I recalled the impression it had on me remembered it as being written by Kowdo Eshun, who himself wrote for The Wire, and would write a book around the subject a few years after the piece was published. But on digging out the article itself I found that it was in fact written by Mark Sinker who probably doesn't get the credit he deserves. Anyway...for your enjoyment, and possible eye strain, here it is - and note how the phrase Afro-Futurism doesn't even appear.
