Beschreibungen

<p><span>Afrofuturism in Black Panther: Gender, Identity, and the Re-making of Blackness</span><span>, through an interdisciplinary and intersectional analysis of </span><span>Black Panther</span><span>, discusses the importance of superheroes and the ways in which they are especially important to Black fans. Aside from its global box office success, </span><span>Black Panther</span><span> paves the way for future superhero narratives due to its underlying philosophy to base the story on a narrative that is reliant on Afro-futurism. The film’s storyline, the book posits, leads viewers to think about relevant real-world social questions as it taps into the cultural zeitgeist in an indelible way. Contributors to this collection approach </span><span>Black Panther</span><span> not only as a film, but also as Afrofuturist imaginings of an African nation untouched by colonialism and antiblack racism: the film is a map to alternate states of being, an introduction to the African Diaspora, a treatise on liberation and racial justice, and an examination of identity. As they analyze each of these components, contributors pose the question: how can a film invite a reimagining of Blackness?</span></p>
