N.K. Jemisin, How Long Until Black Future Month - Those Who Stay And Fight - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the fantasy and science fiction author N.K. Jemisin's short story The Ones Who Stay And Fight, found in her work How Long Til Black Future Month? This story is a response to and homage about Ursula K Leguin's short story Those Who Walk Away From Omelas, and attempts to present a picture of and justification for a utopian civilization. One interesting feature of the story is that Jemisin addresses an outraged and angry interlocutor from our society who considers inequality and difference to be naturally interconnected. The utopian society of Um-Helat has people, "social workers" who protect it from the contamination of evil mindsets and actions coming from our world.
