An Earnest Blackness

Exploring themes of blackness, Afrofuturism, and colonialism, this debut collection of personal essays delves into speculative fiction through the lens of Eugen Bacon's experiences as an African Australian woman. Drawing on a rich tapestry of analytic and narrative techniques, she navigates her identity within various cultural contexts while engaging with the works of notable authors like Toni Morrison and Octavia Butler. Bacon's insightful reflections aim to uncover deeper social truths and the fluidity of identity in contemporary literature.
