Jemisin, Janelle Monáe, Nnedi Okorafor, Saul Williams, Prince, and more. The volume highlights the impact of films such as Black Panther, Woman King, and They Cloned Tyrone, and covers a variety of essential topics giving students a comprehensive view of the legacy of storytelling and the tradition of "remixing" in Black literature and arts. This volume makes connections across academic subject areas and is an engaging reader for pop culture and media film studies, women's, gender, and sexuality studies, Black and Africana studies, hip-hop studies, creative writing, and composition and rhetoric.
