Abstract
This article explores the relationship of Afrofuturism to the intersection of race, religion and biopolitics within the Black public sphere. The article examines representations of emerging genomic technology in the film District 9 and the ethical questions regarding DNA surveillance and DNA phenotyping. These technologies are central to an emerging biopolitics that actively constructs a future racial order based upon the lasting inequalities of slavery and the biological assumptions about race that rationalized it. In addition, the article argues that these concerns are eschatological.
