As a foundational figure in Afrofuturist literary tradition, Octavia Butler deploys speculative fiction in Parable of the Sower to critically deconstruct the themes of race, power, and historical memory. Utilizing Afrofuturism as its theoretical framework, this paper analyzes the historical metaphors and future imaginaries in Parable of the Sower through the lens of Afrofuturist historiography and futurity. It argues that, through its dual engagement with history and the future, this novel not only disrupts the white-centered futurist narrative, reconstructing black history, but also amplifies the voice of the African American community and opens up possibilities for marginalized groups to imagine alternative futures. By depicting the process of home destruction and the subsequent rebuilding of a multiracial community through the perspective of a young black girl, Lauren, whose hyperempathy as a medium that bridges history and the future, Butler subverts the conventional linear narrative of progress and vividly demonstrates the agency and subjectivity of African Americans within both disaster and futurist narratives.
