Part II of the episode where we discuss the pop culture phenomenon that is Black Panther. We continue our conversation with @ifeanyiawachie by discussing by the film’s treatment of gender and hailing the wonderful powerhouses that are the women of Black Panther. Ife draws a parallel between how Black Panther was surrounded by women and the women in Jesus’ life and ministry (yes that Jesus). Yeka delights in Shuri’s nerdiness and is glad for her example of unabashed black woman nerdiness. We ask, is there a place for radicalism in the fight against oppression? What are its limits? Is a new Black world order the answer to Black oppression? How will it be different from any other hegemony? What are the possible pitfalls? We reference Audre Lorde’s “Master’s Tools” essay and Jay Smooth’s great advice of “practicing the craft of being good everyday.” We finish off by asking, if Wakanda is Black Utopia, who does the Wakandan Project leave behind? ------------------------ Resources • theintercept.com/2018/02/22/black…-brazil-protest/ • africasacountry.com/2018/02/africa-…try-in-wakanda/ • www.gq.com/story/black-panther…ter_impression=true • longreads.com/2018/02/22/how-bla…re-to-one-another/ • www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-…american-villain • www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comme…ention-of-africa • www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/a…tm_source=atltw ----------------------------------- Episode was mixed by Ifeoluwa Olokode.
