Editor’s note Science fiction and fantasy rooted in West African, and especially Nigerian, culture, a style she calls Africanfuturism. Binti, about a Himba girl who leaves Earth for a galactic university, won the Hugo and Nebula awards; its sequel Binti: Home is the most read here but rates lowest. Who Fears Death, set in a post-apocalyptic Sudan, won the World Fantasy Award. Akata Witch and Akata Warrior, for younger readers, rate highest.
