Description
Black Canadian author Nalo Hopkinson draws on her cultural background as a Jamaican emigre to explore themes of sexual and racial identity through magical realism and science fiction. Hopkinson's work incorporates Caribbean dialect, superstition, and myth, reflecting on the sense of displacement shared by members of the African diaspora in Canada (or outer space!) and engaging her readership with a distinctive atmosphere and well-rounded characters. The lasting effects of colonialism inform characters' behavior, as they come of age between the worlds of tradition and conventional modernity--or, mysticism and the absence thereof.
