“An indispensable contribution to the study of Black speculative production
.”

—Reynaldo Anderson,

co-editor of Afrofuturism 2.0:

The Rise of Astro-Blackness

“Meticulous and exciting, Audiofuturism fills in a major gap in the
history science fiction, radio dramas, the Jim Crow era, and speculative
Black studies.”

—Shanté Paradigm Smalls,

author of Hip Hop Heresies: Queer Aesthetics in New York City

A revelatory history of Black radio productions from the 1950s to the
present

Audiofuturism uncovers the vibrant, overlooked history of radio adaptations
that placed Black speculative writing before mass audiences, showing how
sound shaped the politics and pleasures of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century culture. While adaptation studies has long privileged
film and sound studies has centered Black music, andré m. carrington
redirects attention to radio drama to demonstrate how performance
translates the Black fantastic imagination into an audible cultural
heritage. Drawing on scripts, surviving recordings, production files, and
author archives, the book reconstructs how radio made listeners hear
literature differently and how those sonic interpretations reverberate
through American Studies, media history, and Black literary traditions.

Organized as a scan across the dial, the study moves from World War II to
the digital age. It begins with New World A-Coming, a wartime series
inspired by Roi Ottley that folded antiracist reporting and Popular Front
ideals into weekly dramatizations aligned with the Black press’s Double
Victory campaign against fascism at home and abroad. It then tunes to
bohemian 1960s New York, where Samuel R. Delany’s The Star-Pit became a
striking radio play in which voice, silence, and experimental effects stage
queer futurity. The book next considers the 2002 Seeing Ear Theatre
adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred, showing how audible epigraphs
drawn from enslaved women’s narratives converse with Butler’s negotiations
over dramatic audio rights, and how performance intensifies the novel’s
reckoning with slavery and memory. Finally, Audiofuturism listens to the
BBC’s 2016 adaptation of Toni Morrison’s Beloved, written by Patricia
Cumper, to track how Black British theatre traditions and national
broadcasting reshape a canonical American ghost story for
twenty-first-century ears.

Across these case studies, carrington shows how radio dramatists and
authors collaborated, compromised, and innovated to make speculative
literature speak. The result is a fresh account of adaptation that enlarges
the archive of Black sound, reframes radio as a site of cultural
world-making, and invites scholars and general readers to listen again to
the past in order to imagine different futures.
