Exciting news for Professor Taryne Taylor's The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms!

Co-editor Bodhi Chattopadhyay secured funding from the European Research Council (ERC) to make CoFuturisms available as an open access publication. Scholars worldwide can now read online or download CoFuturisms at no cost—this is fantastic news for researchers, professors, and students interested in SFF!

CoFuturisms also received two more positive reviews—one by science fiction author/critic David Agranoff and another from Jerome Winter at The SFRA Review .

In "Postcards from a Dying World: Book Review: The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms," David Agranoff calls CoFuturisms "a fine piece of work" comprised of "a stunning 677 pages of hardcore Speculative fiction academics focused on expanding the readers knowledge of global science fiction."

An excerpt from Jerome Winter's "Review of The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms" at The SFRA Review :

Consisting of approximately seven hundred pages, compiled by four editors, including roughly sixty contributing scholars and articles, and a bewildering array of theoretical perspectives, discursive territories, and primary texts, this new, indispensable handbook is a dauntingly monumental scholarly undertaking and a capacious reference resource for students, scholars, and general readers invested in pushing the boundaries of what gets included in discussions of the global sf genre. The structure of the handbook ambitiously spans the world in its geographical reach, with four major parts, each consisting of approximately fifteen articles, devoted respectively to Indigenous futurisms, Latinx futurisms, Asian, Middle Eastern and Asian, and African and African-American futurisms. For scholarly genre criticism that regularly bemoans the lack of global perspectives in even the most theoretical endeavors, this handbook, then, is a sorely needed corrective and a propitious sign, if one was needed, that the sf genre is indeed at a transformative stage of transition.

The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms is edited by Taryne Jade Taylor, Isiah Lavender III, Grace L. Dillon, and Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, and more information can be found at the publisher's page.
