Description
Proposes that “Indigenous futurism is a deliberate, intentional, and purpose-driven position that addresses not only inclusion but intersectionality for its protagonists and themes;” and ask the reader to consider it both an aesthetic and a framework for critical theory. Examines different dystopian YA texts in this context.
