Her Caribbean-inspired narratives--\u003ci\u003eBrown Girl in the Ring\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMidnight Robber\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Salt Roads\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Moon's Arms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chaos\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSister Mine\u003c\/i\u003e--project complex futures and complex identities for people of color in terms of race, sex, and gender. Hopkinson has always had a vested interest in expanding racial and ethnic diversity in all facets of speculative fiction from its writers to its readers, and this desire is reflected in her award-winning anthologies. Her work best represents the current and ongoing colored wave of science fiction in the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn twenty-one interviews ranging from 1999 until 2021, \u003ci\u003eConversations with \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNalo Hopkinson\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a writer of fierce intelligence and humor in love with ideas and concerned with issues of identity. She provides powerful insights on code-switching, race, Afrofuturism, queer identities, sexuality, Caribbean folklore, and postcolonial science fictions, among other things. As a result, the conversations presented here very much demonstrate the uniqueness of her mind and her influence as a writer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsiah Lavender III\u003c\/b\u003e is Sterling-Goodman Professor of English at the University of Georgia, where he researches and teaches courses in African American literature and science fiction.
