Wanuri Kahius "Pumzi" ist ein afrofuturistischer Film, der die Konsequenzen von Klimawandel und durch ihn verursachten Krieg und thematisiert. "Pumzi" verstört, um zu träumen. Erinnerung wird dabei zum Lebenselixier der Zukunft. Dieser Band widmet sich dem Streben, von Pumzi und seiner Protagonistin Asha zu lernen. Solidarität und Widerstand inmitten einer dystopischen Technodiktatur p(f)lan(z)en neue Zukünfte, über Spezien und Zeiten hinweg. Die Beiträge in diesem Band nähern sich dieser Thematik über Konzepte wie Zukunft, Heldentum, Dystopie, Afrofuturismus, Umwelt und Solidarität. Damit leistet der Band einen Beitrag zur Konturierung der neu entstehenden Postcolonial Posthuman Studies.
