This book explains a couple of common themes in indigenous science fiction writing and contains some examples of each theme. There are short stories as well as excerpts from novels.
I must admit I didn't grasp everything fully upon first read through, but I have put quite a few of the excerpted book on my TBR to experience the full stories and will likely return to this book to further explore some of the themes. The stories that struck me most were Flight by Sherman Alexie, Refugees by Celu Amberstone, Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson and When this world is all on fire by William Sanders (short story). Very exited to explore more!
