Yet it wasn’t just a movie led by and starring Black artists. It grappled with ideas and conflicts central to Black life in America and helped redress the racial dynamics of the Hollywood blockbuster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott Bukatman, one of the foremost scholars of superheroes and cinematic spectacle, brings his impeccable pedigree to this lively and accessible study, finding in the utopianism of \u003ci\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/i\u003e a way of re-envisioning what a superhero movie can and should be while centering the Black creators, performers, and issues behind it. He considers the superheroic Black body; the Pan-African fantasy, feminism, and Afrofuturism of Wakanda; the African American relationship to Africa; the political influence of director Ryan Coogler’s earlier movies; and the entwined performances of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa and Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger. Bukatman argues that Black Panther is escapism of the best kind, offering a fantasy of liberation and social justice while demonstrating the power of popular culture to articulate ideals and raise vital questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Tell Me a Story\u003cbr\u003e The Road to Wakanda\u003cbr\u003e Black Panther’\u003cbr\u003es Black Body\u003cbr\u003e The Wakandan Dream\u003cbr\u003e The Killmonger Problem\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Why Do We Hide?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appreciations\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52590968766744,"sku":"9781477325841","price":55.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/black-panther-hardback-9781477325841","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
