Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Dreams of Wakanda: Creators, Writers, and Comics Legends on the Impact of Marvel Studios' Black Panther by Mateus Manhanini

Thanks to PRHAudio for this complimentary audiobook! I have had this one on the to read/listen list for a while. With the sequel coming out soon and an admiration for the first stand alone film learning more about the process that inspired the film intrigued me. (Longest sentence ever). Anyway this was a short listen powerfully written. I even got emotional a few times thinking about the endeavor to stay true to African traditions. How powerful the portrayal of Black and African community is to the world and even more specific to the US. Representation is important and empowered representation even more so. I love how much debate and scrutiny went into this movie and cannot wait to hear how the second movie was produced. This is a great book for people wanting to learn more of philosophy, history, African traditions or even film, costume and sound track production. Very grateful to have given this a listen.
