BLACK PANTHER: TALES OF WAKANDA | Tananarive Due, Nikki Giovanni, Cadwell Turnbull, Sheree Thomas
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
A ground-breaking anthology celebrating Marvel’s beloved Black Panther and his home of Wakanda, penned by an all-star cast of authors such as Sheree Renée Thomas and Nikki Giovanni. T’Challa faces the gods of his parents. Vampires stalk Shuri and a Dora Milaje in voodoo-laced New Orleans. Erik Killmonger grapples with racism, Russian spies, and his own origins. Eighteen brand-new tales of Wakanda, its people, and its legacy. The first mainstream superhero of African descent, the Black Panther has attracted readers of all races and colors who see in the King of Wakanda reflections of themselves. Storytellers from across the African Diaspora—some already literary legends, others who are rising stars—have created for this collection original works inspired by the world of the Panther and its inhabitants. With guest stars including Storm, Monica Rambeau, Namor, and Jericho Drumm, these are stories of yesterday and today, of science and magic, of faith and love. These are the tales of a king and his country. These are the legends whispered in the jungle, myths of the unconquered men and women and the land they love. These are the Tales of Wakanda. Featuring stories by Linda D. Addison, Maurice Broaddus, Christopher Chambers, Milton J. Davis, Tananarive Due, Nikki Giovanni, Harlan James, Danian Jerry, Kyoko M., L.L. McKinney, Temi Oh, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Glenn Parris, Alex Simmons, Sheree Renée Thomas, Cadwell Turnbull and Troy L. Wiggins.

🖤WAKANDA FOREVER🖤 The exact book I read isn't in the litsy database so I tagged a book that was similar because it is also an anthology. This was a good read. My only complaint is that it's too short! A collection of essays from fans of Black Panther, some were people who worked on the movie, taught the movie in their classes, writers, artists, etc. I loved reading about how much this movie meant to other people for a variety of reasons.

I listened to some more of the tagged anthology while I made a couple freezer meals to use up some beef. It‘s… not what I hoped for. A third of the way through, the majority of the contributors are deeply concerned with using Wakanda to discuss America. I can understand that impulse, and the value in it, and I appreciate the ways they also interrogate Wakanda‘s isolationism, but—yeah. I‘d prefer more chances to explore WAKANDA. #audiocooking
