Download or read book Super Black written by Adilifu Nama and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Super Black places the appearance of black superheroes alongside broad and sweeping cultural trends in American politics and pop culture, which reveals how black superheroes are not disposable pop products, but rather a fascinating racial phenomenon through which futuristic expressions and fantastic visions of black racial identity and symbolic political meaning are presented. Adilifu Nama sees the value—and finds new avenues for exploring racial identity—in black superheroes who are often dismissed as sidekicks, imitators of established white heroes, or are accused of having no role outside of blaxploitation film contexts. Nama examines seminal black comic book superheroes such as Black Panther, Black Lightning, Storm, Luke Cage, Blade, the Falcon, Nubia, and others, some of whom also appear on the small and large screens, as well as how the imaginary black superhero has come to life in the image of President Barack Obama. Super Black explores how black superheroes are a powerful source of racial meaning, narrative, and imagination in American society that express a myriad of racial assumptions, political perspectives, and fantastic (re)imaginings of black identity. The book also demonstrates how these figures overtly represent or implicitly signify social discourse and accepted wisdom concerning notions of racial reciprocity, equality, forgiveness, and ultimately, racial justice.
Book Synopsis What is a Superhero? by : Robin S. Rosenberg PhD
Download or read book What is a Superhero? written by Robin S. Rosenberg PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to name a superhero--Superman, Batman, Thor, Spiderman, the Green Lantern, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rorschach, Wolverine--but it's not so easy to define what a superhero is. Buffy has superpowers, but she doesn't have a costume. Batman has a costume, but doesn't have superpowers. What is the role of power and superpower? And what are supervillains and why do we need them? In What is a Superhero?, psychologist Robin Rosenberg and comics scholar Peter Coogan explore this question from a variety of viewpoints, bringing together contributions from nineteen comic book experts--including both scholars in such fields as cultural studies, art, and psychology as well as leading comic book writers and editors. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this most popular of pop-culture figures. Writer Jeph Loeb, for instance, sees the desire to make the world a better place as the driving force of the superhero. Jennifer K. Stuller argues that the female superhero inspires women to stand up, be strong, support others, and most important, to believe in themselves. More darkly, A. David Lewis sees the indestructible superhero as the ultimate embodiment of the American "denial of death," while writer Danny Fingeroth sees superheroes as embodying the best aspects of humankind, acting with a nobility of purpose that inspires us. Interestingly, Fingeroth also expands the definition of superhero so that it would include characters like John McClane of the Die Hard movies: "Once they dodge ridiculous quantities of machine gun bullets they're superheroes, cape or no cape." From summer blockbusters to best-selling graphic novels, the superhero is an integral part of our culture. What is a Superhero? not only illuminates this pop-culture figure, but also sheds much light on the fantasies and beliefs of the American people.

Download or read book Superhero written by Keith Brooks and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who really am I?" This question may be the root cause of all questions you may have asked. Questions such as: Why do I always fail? Why do I keep acting this way? How come life is a struggle for me? Why is it that I have everything and still I'm not happy? I know I need to change, but how do I do it? These questions have no racial barrier. They don't care whether you are black, white, or Hispanic. These questions can care less if you're poor, middle-class, or rich! These questions are rooted and grounded in the hearts of men like green grass is rooted and grounded across the earth. In today's society, the masses of men are being held captive by a self-imprisonment called an "identity crisis." I've experienced the worst of both worlds, a spiritual prison within myself and a natural prison behind real bars. It wasn't until I made my mind up to simply be a free man by awakening the true man on the inside of me. How? By discovering who I really am. In this mind-renewing book, you will discover that true freedom will exist in your life when you discover who you really are. This book was written behind the dark walls of prison while sitting on an old ice cooler. For a number of months, as chapters went by, you were on my mind while writing this book of change. I must say that this book is designed for men who are tired of being tormented by living a lifestyle of not knowing who you are. Keep in mind that the key to having a fulfilled abundant life is when you discover who you really are. Then, and only then, will you stand boldly as the super hero that you were created to be. And God will say boldly "This is a man after my own heart."

Download or read book Comic Book Movies written by Blair Davis and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic Book Movies explores how this genre serves as a source for modern-day myths, sometimes even incorporating ancient mythic figures like Thor and Wonder Woman’s Amazons, while engaging with the questions that haunt a post-9/11 world: How do we define heroism and morality today? How far are we willing to go when fighting terror? How can we resist a dystopian state? Film scholar Blair Davis also considers how the genre’s visual style is equally important as its weighty themes, and he details how advances in digital effects have allowed filmmakers to incorporate elements of comic book art in innovative ways. As he reveals, comic book movies have inspired just as many innovations to Hollywood’s business model, with film franchises and transmedia storytelling helping to ensure that the genre will continue its reign over popular culture for years to come.
Book Synopsis Birth of a Superhero by : Michelle Nold
Download or read book Birth of a Superhero written by Michelle Nold and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deception comes in many forms, but not all deception is born out of malice. In my life, it came in the form of seemingly harmless tales told to me when I was young and impressionable. In my later years, deception reared its seductive head each time I tried to fulfill a goal or satisfy a personal ambition. I became a storyteller. I told myself stories like It isnt meant to be. I bought into the philosophy of You cant do that until I hit an emotional rock bottom and had an epiphany. Now I tell myself a different story. My life has taught me that I have the power to craft my life how I want, to fulfill my hopes and dreams once I realized the key. How you think affects you emotionally, psychologically, and physically. Your words show the world who you are. They determine the relationships you have and express how you feel. Words define the world around you and your perception of it. King Solomon of Old Testament fame wrote often about the power of words. He said, Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 1821, NASB). Words are unimaginably powerful. If you want to climb the Everest of personal excellence and create success in life, put this power into play. Words have impact. How do your words impact those around you? Do you treat yourself and others with respect, gratitude, and acceptance? Do you lift up others with a positive attitude or tear them down with negative words? You may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound or bend steel bars with your bare hands or fly faster than a speeding bullet, but you have power like no other being in this world. You are a superhero!
