At the close of the 2010s, to many, the world appears to be in a
state of dangerous change. News and fictional media alike report
that these are dark times, and narratives of social resistance
imbue many facets of Western culture. The chapters in this
collection examine different events and themes of the 2010s that
readily acknowledge the struggling state of things. Crucially,
these essays look to the resistance and political activism of
communities that seek to make long-reaching and institutional
changes in the world through a diverse group of media texts. They
scrutinize how a society relates to injustices and how individuals
enact a desire for change. The authors analyze a broad range of
works such as texts like: Awake: A Dream from Standing Rock, Black
Panther, The Death of Stalin, Get Out, Jessica Jones, Hamilton, The
Shape of Water, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. By digging into these
and other works, as well as historic events, the contributors
explicate the soul-deep necessity of pushing back against
injustice, whether personal or cultural.
