BOOK RECOMMENDATION: The accompanying book recommendation is Why Wakanda Matters: What Black Panther Reveals About Psychology, Identity, and Communication.  The Movie Black Panther introduced viewers to the stunning world of Wakanda, a fictional African country with incredible technological advancements, and to T’Challa, a young man stepping into his role as king and taking up the mantle of the Black Panther title from his late father. Edited by Dr. Sheena C. Howard, an award-winning author, filmmaker, and scholar, Why Wakanda Matters: What Black Panther Reveals About Psychology, Identity, and Communication features a collection of essays from leading experts in a variety of fields who offer insightful perspectives on topics such as:

  • Cognitive dissonance: The important messages within T’Challa’s nuanced identity and eventual shift from nationalism to globalism.
  • Intergenerational trauma and resistance: How N’Jadaka (aka Erik/Killmonger) identifies with the trauma that his ancestors have suffered. 
  • Social identity: How Nakia, Shuri, Okoye, and Ramonda—all empowered, intelligent, and assertive women of color—can make a lasting impression on women and girls.
  • Collective identity: How Black Panther has created a shared fantasy for Black audience members—and why this is groundbreaking. 
  • Cultural and racial identity: What we can learn from Black Panther’s portrayal of a culture virtually untouched by white supremacy.
