Nnedi Okorafor’s science fiction novella Binti is a suspenseful and exhilarating read that plunges you headlong into a future world where space ships are living creatures, and humanity is just one of many space-faring civilizations. It also plunges you into the mind and life of Binti, a Himba girl, raised in the African desert, who has a singular talent for advanced mathematics. Among her own people, Binti’s talents make her a masterful harmonizer and maker of astrolabes (computer-like devices that are a specialty among the Himba). But her talents have also won her a place at the famous Oomza University, located somewhere far away from Earth.Binti desperately wants to go to Oomza Uni. However, few Himba ever leave home, and when she steps on-board the spaceship that will take her to university (without telling anyone in her family what she is about to do) it is a momentous decision. Her trip takes a violent turn when the ship is attacked, and Binti's struggle to survive – and the transformation it eventually leads to – makes for a thought-provoking and engrossing read. Okorafor skillfully immerses the reader in her future-verse, never explaining more than necessary, but giving you just enough to create a captivating and tantalizing world. She also expertly twists and skews the usual “alien vs. human†scenario, making for an unpredictable, complex and satisfying storyline.Binti is a fantastic read, and while it’s the first book by Okorafor I’ve ever read, it definitely won’t be the last.
I'm not sure anything I write can do this beautiful story justice. A young woman from a marginalized and persecuted human tribe, pursues her dreams and accepts her admittance to the premiere University in the Galaxy. As a professor, a story of a student who gives up everything to learn, who has to confront how that journey transforms and changes her and separates her from her people brings me to tears. This tale is a beautiful and gentle reminder to listen with compassion, a reminder that as we demand our students conform to academia's expectations we demand they leave pieces of themselves behind as they make their personal journey.
Okorafor's Binti allows readers a chance to relax into scifi's wonderful worlds of "What if?" without haviing to constantly translate and ignore hostile cross-cultural assumptions and metaphors. It feels wonderful, as a reader, to be able to trust an author, suspend disbelief and be able to say, "Yes! That is just what such an experience feels like! Now, where does it lead, and what does it mean?" without remaining braced for stereotyping, misrepresentation, and the culturally-ingrained literary gut-punches that ethnic minority bibliophiles have to learn to live with. Though Binti's experiences are inspired by continental African and Arab peoples and places, they are strongly reminiscent of Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis (now Lilith's Brood) series: breaking away from home and tradition because someone must venture out, to give everyone else a better chance to survive. And then facing the terror, the isolation, and the possibilities alone. A beautiful work that I cannot help but hope will open doors for more non-immigrant African American fantasy and SciFi authors, in time.
"People were people, everywhere."I don't think it's possible for Nnedi Okorafor to write anything that I (and the rest of the world) don't absolutely love. Her storytelling ability and imagination are just excellent. Binti is no exception. Almost from the first sentence, I was drawn into her world and her character. Even though her time, culture, and experiences are firmly science fiction, they not foreign.Binti is a young girl who has been handed her life's dream: to study math at the galaxy's premier university. But she is from a marginalized people who do not stray from home. Her people stay, they do as their people have always done, and they do not question it—especially if they are a woman. But Binti is unbelievably talented, and the university has given her a full scholarship if she will only make her way there. So she shocks her entire people and leaves while they are asleep, shunning herself and severing ties to her culture in one fell swoop."If I couldn’t make otjize here, then I’d have to . . . change."During her journey (on a spaceship built within a giant, living creature), they are attacked by a species that has long been at war with the race of people who hold the status and power on Earth. They would kill her, but she has a mysterious and ancient piece of technology that stands in their way. She must be strong enough to survive the journey and then save many lives—both friend and "foe"—when the ship arrives at the university's planet."Okwu was young, like me. And maybe that’s why it was so eager to die and prove itself to the others and that’s why the others were fine with it."This story is a novella, and it goes quick, but there is so, so much packed into it. So much about identity, culture, power, prejudice, belonging. I loved how she referred to multiple beings as "people" no matter their species, although I also noticed that individuals were always "it," and never "he" or "she." I loved the way Binti's battle within herself to both align with and differentiate herself from her people brought out so much about her character. I loved how much I learned from her about the experiences of people who are less privileged than I am. I loved her strength, her intelligence, and her powerful femininity.
