About this listen
A past struggle for racial equity could achieve a profound future victory in this audacious short story about technology, hoodoo, and hope by a Nebula Award-winning author.
Burri is a fashion designer and icon with a biochemistry background. Her latest pieces are African inspired and crafted to touch the heart. They enable wearers to absorb nanorobotic memories and recount the stories of Black lives and forgiveness. Wenda doesn’t buy it. A protest performance artist, Wenda knows exploitation when she sees it. What she’s going to do with Burri’s breakthrough technology could, in the right hands, change race relations forever.
Nalo Hopkinson’s Clap Back is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

A good look at what happens when you exploit and appropriate from others and how some consequences don't exist for people but do for others. I did think that this felt more like a prequel to another story rather than a self-contained idea, but it fit in really well with the rest of the stories in this series so far.
I would have enjoyed seeing more of this one and think it may have been even better if it was towards the front end of the short stories you read in this series. The audiobook was extremely well done!
Great Concept!
