“This issue marks a transition in BlackFlash’s 40-year publishing history. Our fall 2023 issue is the last commissioned by our former managing editor Maxine Proctor in collaboration with our editorial committee. It is also (as transitions go) the first produced in collaboration with our new managing editor, Jasmin Fookes.”
