Warrior Quest (The Ancient Lands, #1) by Jason McCammon

I wish to be contacted with the results of the investigation. While his sister and his brothers waged war in the northern regions of Madunia, Hatari remained at the region furthest south, often called The Forbidden Expanse. At the northern border of the Forbidden Expanse lay the Kingdom of Ufalme.

Hatari had laid claim to Ufalme and the Forbidden Expanse, and it was his job, among his siblings, to rule over those territories. Unfortunately for him, King Jumbe and his army of warriors had proved to be unconquerable, time and time again. His army consisted entirely of ogres large, strong creatures that were not very intelligent, and thus were easily controlled.

This story is not about Hatari, actually. The Kingdom of Ufalme raised a boy who would change the fate of an empire and eventually the fate of the known world of Madunia, altogether. This is a story about that boy, named Bomani.

How I have come to know anything about this planet is quite a story in itself. A real griot of The Ancient Lands would commit all history to memory, and would then tell the story as it was passed down to him from previous griots.

I am more of a historian and archeologist. To learn and understand a civilization is both my job and my passion. Studies have shown that, in the general population, Science Fiction and Fantasy has an impact on the teaching of values and critical literacy to young adults. Science Fiction challenges readers to first imagine and then to realize the future of not only the novel they are reading but, also the future of the world in which they live.

Looking at the most visible popular examples of epic fantasy — J. Howard and bestselling authors J. Martin and Robert Jordan — a casual observer might assume that big, continent-spanning sagas with magic in them are always set in some imaginary variation on Medieval — and, sometimes, even modern — Britain. The stories include the common tropes — swords, talismans of power, wizards and the occasional dragon, all in a world where Black people rarely exist; and those who do appear are decidedly peripheral and usually work for the bad guys.

But that casual observer would be wrong. Young adults of African descent can — and do — relate to the experiences in science fiction and fantasy. Indeed, they crave these experiences and read speculative fiction just as voraciously as young adults of other races. But the lack of self-images in this literature can have a negative effect on the psyche of young readers and can, indeed, contribute to negative behavior.

We derive our perceptions of self by what we hear, see, and read and our perception directly affects our actions. If the Perception of ourselves is a person who lacks courage, integrity and goodness — because we do not see ourselves possessing heroic qualities in most books — the Thought creeps into our minds that we lack those heroic qualities, so we are — by default — villains.

Jason McCammon

The Thought grows into a strong Impulse to be the villain; and finally, the Action of villainy takes place. However, if — through fantasy and science fiction written with Black characters as the heroes — our youth begin to perceive themselves as heroic…as hard working…as good…they will begin to act in accord with how they perceive themselves.

The aforementioned authors have published books of Science Fiction and Fantasy featuring Black youth as protagonists.

An analysis of these books reveals plots that are fun and adventurous; black protagonists who are gifted, insightful youth surrounded by functional, supportive family units; and themes common to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, like courage, integrity, and good versus evil. While race and ethnicity are not ignored in these books, the race or ethnicity of a character does not drive the plot.

Our youth need stories that do not deny race or the historical implications of race, while remaining unhindered by the racism that may be present. On May 5, , in Atlanta, a group of Black authors of speculative fiction — in conjunction with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History — are coming together to host The State of Black Science Fiction Youth Symposium , a day-long symposium spotlighting science fiction and fantasy as a signature intersection of science, history, technology, and humanistic studies.

This symposium will serve as the blueprint for a national conference. The symposium will feature scholarly panel discussions involving authors and artists of African descent who will showcase their involvement in their respective genres and subgenres of fantasy and science fiction across various media, as it relates to issues of cultural, scientific and technical development. State of Black Science Fiction Presentation.

This symposium is Step One in raising the awareness of Black speculative fiction among our youth and in inspiring them to grow into the bright future of Black Science Fiction and Fantasy they are destined to become. This event is free and open to the community. For further information, please join us on Facebook at https: Posted by Balogun on April 17, in Uncategorized.
