   • 2015 July 27, Noah Berlatsky, “NK Jemisin: the fantasy writer upending the 'racist and sexist status quo'”, in The Guardian‎:

     “As a black woman,” Jemisin tells me, “I have no particular interest in maintaining the status quo. Why would I? The status quo is harmful, the status quo is significantly racist and sexist and a whole bunch of other things that I think need to change. With epic fantasy there is a tendency for it to be quintessentially conservative, in that its job is to restore what is perceived to be out of whack.”
