Whereas most people maintain several complex, interacting identities, popular […]

The painting you talked about sounds really interesting, and it seems like it plays a lot on the idea of imagining a world […]

From my perspective, it seems like food really symbolizes Snead’s way of situating r […]

In Snead’s writing, however, he parses out the implications of repetition and change, particularly along the b […]

I also think it’s really interesting how you connected Heg […]

I think reading DuBois helps us understand Killmonger’s inner struggle a lot better and approach the character with more empathy. Looking at K […]

In his analysis, however, Snead establishes white/European culture and black […]
