LENGTH: 1,800 words or longer (approx. 7.5 pages; word count is more important page count)
Based on the books, literature and films we have studied so far- or similar Afrofuturism
works you find during your research-craft an essay discussing your understanding of the
themes in Afrofuturism and their meaning, context and/or effectiveness. You should refer to the
course work and at least two sources -which would include quoting from the works themselves.
(Outside scholarship is required- and article or blog post, for example but you must discuss at
least one class work.) Be as specific as possible.
POSSIBLE APPROACHES: You may write a compare and contrast essay about two or
more of the works we have studied (or comparing a work we have studied to another outside of
class); an analysis of two or more works; or present a specific argument (i.e. argumentative
essay) that you then use your analysis of works to bolster.
You should have a thesis statement in your first paragraph and lay out your subtopics.
Each paragraph introducing a new subject or idea should have a topic sentence.
FORMAT: Assignments MUST be emailed as a Word document (or Word compatible)
or PDF. You must write DOUBLE-SPACED in a 12-pt font, preferably Times New Roman. The
word count will be weighed more heavily than the page count, so do not rely upon specialty fonts
to increase your page count. Again, it is best to use Times New Roman. Essays may be formatted
in MLA or APA style, but all citations should be cited in a Works Cited page.
Prompt:
Parable of the Sower & Lion’s Blood and other works discuss community building. How
do these authors’ visions of community resonate in our current world? What components make a
community? Do you agree or disagree with the authors’ approaches?
