Afrofuturism in Black Panther: Gender, Identity, and the Re-making
of Blackness, through an interdisciplinary and intersectional
analysis of Black Panther, discusses the importance of superheroes
and the ways in which they are especially important to Black fans.
Aside from its global box office success, Black Panther 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 Black Panther 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?
