Re: Post Apocolyptic Literature

The Comet by W.E.B. Du Bois
The Jewels of Aptor and Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
Fallout and Clay's Ark and the Imago series by Octavia Butler
Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson
War & Mir trilogy by Minister Faust (Malcolm Azania)
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
Domino Falls by Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes
Mindscape by Andrea Hairston
Zone One by Colson Whitehead

Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by "post-apocalyptic." I think all
of these novels fit my definition of the term.

I chose all novels by black authors, because you asked about
post-racial. If you want to compare all of those to a post-apocalyptic
novel by a white author, try Farnham's Freehold by Robert A. Heinlein.
