Drawing on Black feminist/womanist storytelling and the three-dimensional narrative inquiry space, this article showcases how one Black girl uses speculative fiction as testimony and counterstory, calling for readers to bear witness to her experiences and inviting witnesses to respond to the negative experiences she faces as a Black girl in the United States. I argue that situating speculative fiction as counterstory creates space for Black girls to challenge dominant narratives and create new realities. Furthermore, I argue that considering speculative fiction as testimony provides another way for readers to engage in a dialogic process with Black girls, affirming their words as legitimate sources of knowledge. Witnessing Black girls’ stories is an essential component to literacy and social justice contexts that tout a humanizing approach to research. They are also vital for dismantling a system bent on the castigation and obliteration of Black girls’ pasts, presents, and futures.

我可以获得证人吗?作为证词和反故事的投机小说

本文借鉴黑人女权主义/女权主义叙事和三维叙事探究空间,展示了一个黑人女孩如何以推理小说为证词和反故事,呼吁读者见证她的经历,并邀请证人回应她的负面经历。作为美国黑人女孩的面孔。我认为,将投机小说作为反故事为黑人女孩创造了挑战主流叙事和创造新现实的空间。此外,我认为将推理小说作为证词为读者提供了另一种与黑人女孩进行对话的方式,确认她们的话是合法的知识来源。目睹黑人女孩的故事是扫盲和社会正义环境的重要组成部分,这些环境吹捧人性化的研究方法。它们对于拆除一个致力于谴责和抹杀黑人女孩的过去、现在和未来的制度也至关重要。
