Her Caribbean-inspired narratives—\u003ci\u003eBrown Girl in the Ring\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMidnight Robber\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Salt Roads\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Moon’s Arms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chaos\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSister Mine\u003c\/i\u003e—project complex futures and complex identities for people of color in terms of race, sex, and gender. Hopkinson has always had a vested interest in expanding racial and ethnic diversity in all facets of speculative fiction from its writers to its readers, and this desire is reflected in her award-winning anthologies. Her work best represents the current and ongoing colored wave of science fiction in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn twenty-one interviews ranging from 1999 until 2021, \u003ci\u003eConversations with \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNalo Hopkinson\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a writer of fierce intelligence and humor in love with ideas and concerned with issues of identity. She provides powerful insights on code-switching, race, Afrofuturism, queer identities, sexuality, Caribbean folklore, and postcolonial science fictions, among other things. As a result, the conversations presented here very much demonstrate the uniqueness of her mind and her influence as a writer.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600617304344,"sku":"9781496843685","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/conversations-with-nalo-hopkinson-paperback-softback-9781496843685","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
