In 2018, the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally delivered on something fans had long been waiting for: a feature film with a solo Black superhero. 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. The unforgettable story, coupled with the film's mega-success, has undoubtedly shaped the future of superhero cinema, in addition to genuinely changing viewers' lives.

In the forward, the question is posed, "Name a movie where a little black kid goes on an adventure and is the lead?" All think they can, but can never come up with an ET, Harry Potter, etc. Phillip Boutte Jr., a costume concept artist and writer of the forward, was working on A Wrinkle in Time with Oprah and at the same time Black Panther when he posed the question. Imagine his pride in knowing that stores would now be full of black toys.The book itself delves into the psychology of the film and its black viewers. It talks about how important it is to see strong, positive male and female black characters of different ages on the screen and has created something for the audience to bond around. As a white guy, I admit all of this was totally lost on me. I saw it only as a great superhero movie, while for black audiences it was that and so much more.Fantasy and using our imagination and play are so important to our development and this enables black children, as well as teens and adults, to more closely identify with positive role models. It offers them a different idea of what could be and what "normal" looks like. Fictional, often precedes reality. For example: we had stories of being in space long before we were able to get there.It's a heavy read with chapters written by psychologists, LCSWs, professors, etc. and the kind of book you'll need to read more than once to truly grasp the historical influence of The Black Panther. And while most of the writing is about the positive influence and images of black people, I appreciated that there was space in this book for a contrasting point of view and commend Dr. Howard for providing that spaceNote: I've downloaded a bunch of free, (mostly) random, pre-releases of books with the idea of expanding my range and helping authors get reviews. #netgalley
