Conjure, dialect, and gatekeepers, oh my! Jen and Trish are joined by Eden Royce and Troy L. Wiggins to discuss the current field of Black Southern Speculative Fiction, including how the speculative is part of the Black Southern experience, whether or not standard genre labels fail speculative fiction written by black people from the South, what gatekeepers can do to promote Black Southern voices, and so much more. Make sure you stay through the very end to hear some recommendations on where to start your journey into Black Southern Speculative Fiction!
We hope you enjoy the episode!
