We See a Different Frontier: A Postcolonial Speculative Fiction Anthology by Fábio Fernandes, Djibril al-Ayad
5.0
I usually reserve 5 stars for books I can't stop raving about. I didn't love each of the stories in this anthology, but I do absolutely positively love that it exists. So it gets 5 stars because I loved the majority of the stories, and the theme is one that does not get enough attention in SFF.
The introduction and afterward were also really helpful for me to process the anthology as a whole, not just as the sum of the individual stories. The different approaches to colonialism still had a lot of common themes and points.
I highly recommend this collection to anyone who is tired of white male perspective in stories. To anyone who wants to read a story and see themselves in it. Or to simply put themselves in another person's perspective. To see the possibilities from a new angle.
