Editor Sheena C. Howard has compiled an incredible collection of essays about social identity, intergenerational trauma, cognitive dissonance, and race through the lens of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the new book Why Wakanda Matters. In 2018, Black Panther was far more popular than many film experts were expecting, but people of color knew that this was an important step for representation in popular media.
Why Wakanda Matters goes deep, and JD Jackson’s narration is fantastic and engaging. The audiobook keeps the listener moving along and taking in some pretty heavy material, all under a familiar understanding of the Black Panther film and King T’Challa.
Why Wakanda Matters is Available now from Highbridge Audio.
