Book Synopsis Searching for Feminist Superheroes by : Sam Langsdale
Download or read book Searching for Feminist Superheroes written by Sam Langsdale and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How superhero narratives in the margins of the mainstream tell innovative, feminist stories. It’s no secret that superhero comics and their related media perpetuate a model of a straight, white, male hero at the expense of representing women and other minorities, but other narratives exist. Searching for Feminist Superheroes recognizes that female-led superhero comics, with diverse casts of characters and inclusive storytelling, exist on the margins of the mainstream superhero genre. But rather than focusing on these stories as marginalized, Sam Langsdale’s work on heroes such as Spider-Woman, America Chavez, and Ironheart locates the margins as a site of innovation and productivity, which have enabled the creation of feminist superhero texts. Employing feminist and intersectional philosophies in an analysis of these comics, Langsdale suggests that feminist superheroes have the potential to contribute to a social imagination that is crucial in working toward a more just world. At a time when US popular culture continues to manifest as a battleground between oppressive and progressive social norms, Searching for Feminist Superheroes demonstrates that a fight for a better world is worthwhile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At what point does abnormal become normal? Aberrations are here to stay. Trying to figure out how to co-exist with the whole world, maximize their newly discovered powers and stop infighting among themselves. Worse yet, the elders are adding to internal stress. Being an outcast had been the norm for Agatha ‘Aggie’ McArthur since well before middle school. By the time puberty and all its nasty side effects hit, she was a pro at guarding herself from hurtful words and more. Discovering she had the ability to shield wasn’t a great leap for the guarded teen. Having an ability doesn’t mean mastering it. Especially when it means allowing yourself to admit you are special and powerful. The inconsistent shield, useless more times than not, failed and led to the kidnapping of one of their own. With a home now mobilized, the citizens of the makeshift Satori are not only on guard, but searching for their lost friend. With an unknown elder, Imani, appearing, Aggie will have a teacher if she can allow herself to trust. But will the trust be worth the danger her life is placed in? And can she find the strength to protect the community, or will her shield leave her friends on the outside looking in?

Book Synopsis Superheroes in the Streets by : Kimberly Wedeven Segall
Download or read book Superheroes in the Streets written by Kimberly Wedeven Segall and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The icon of the female protester and her alter-ego, the female superhero, fills screens in the news, in theaters, and in digital spaces. The female protester who is Muslim, though, has been subject to a legacy of discrimination. Superheroes in the Streets: Muslim Women Activists and Protest in the Digital Age follows the stories of both famous and grassroots Muslim female protestors, bringing careful attention to protest modes and online national icons. US Muslim women have long navigated public and digital spaces aware of the complex and nuanced histories that trail them. Given the pervasive influence of mainstream feminism, Muslim women activists are often made out to be damsels in distress. Even when mass media turns its attention to the activism of Muslim women, persistence of these false narratives demeans their culture and hypersexualizes their bodies. Following the stories of US Muslim women activists, author Kimberly Wedeven Segall shows how they have been reinventing the streets and remaking racialized codifications. Segall highlights their creativity in crafting protest media of posters, rap rally songs, and digital images of superheroes, carving public spaces into inclusive and digital territories. Each chapter teases apart the complexities of public banners and digital activism.

Book Synopsis Side by Side by : Marilisa Jiménez García
Download or read book Side by Side written by Marilisa Jiménez García and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Children’s Literature Association’s 2023 Book Award During the early colonial encounter, children’s books were among the first kinds of literature produced by US writers introducing the new colony, its people, and the US’s role as a twentieth-century colonial power to the public. Subsequently, youth literature and media were important tools of Puerto Rican cultural and educational elite institutions and Puerto Rican revolutionary thought as a means of negotiating US assimilation and upholding a strong Latin American, Caribbean national stance. In Side by Side: US Empire, Puerto Rico, and the Roots of American Youth Literature and Culture, author Marilisa Jiménez García focuses on the contributions of the Puerto Rican community to American youth, approaching Latinx literature as a transnational space that provides a critical lens for examining the lingering consequences of US and Spanish colonialism for US communities of color. Through analysis of texts typically outside traditional Latinx or literary studies such as young adult literature, textbooks, television programming, comics, music, curriculum, and youth movements, Side by Side represents the only comprehensive study of the contributions of Puerto Ricans to American youth literature and culture, as well as the only comprehensive study into the role of youth literature and culture in Puerto Rican literature and thought. Considering recent debates over diversity in children’s and young adult literature and media and the strained relationship between Puerto Rico and the US, Jiménez García's timely work encourages us to question who constitutes the expert and to resist the homogenization of Latinxs, as well as other marginalized communities, that has led to the erasure of writers, scholars, and artists.

A lot of the stuff that gives my neighborhood a bad name, I don’t really mess with. The guns and drugs and all that, not really my thing. Nah, not his thing. Ali’s got enough going on, between school and boxing and helping out at home. His best friend Noodles, though. Now there’s a dude looking for trouble—and, somehow, it’s always Ali around to pick up the pieces. But, hey, a guy’s gotta look out for his boys, right? Besides, it’s all small potatoes; it’s not like anyone’s getting hurt. And then there’s Needles. Needles is Noodles’s brother. He’s got a syndrome, and gets these ticks and blurts out the wildest, craziest things. It’s cool, though: everyone on their street knows he doesn’t mean anything by it. Yeah, it’s cool…until Ali and Noodles and Needles find themselves somewhere they never expected to be…somewhere they never should've been—where the people aren’t so friendly, and even less forgiving.
