From Wakanda to America (2018)

Martin, J. (2018, July 27). From Wakanda to America: Agreement, disagreement, and the complexity of social judgments.  

• Brings together U.S. polling data, developmental theory, and the features of Wakanda.

• Argues that the film Black Panther (2018), with its emphasis on agreement and disagreements within a society, provides insights into the nature of our own agreements and disagreements as Americans.

“Either we attempt to understand our differences in a way that accounts for our similarities or we continue to over-emphasize our differences to the point where the prospect of solving pressing problems together becomes increasingly unlikely. If you are interested in the former, then you may want to take a(nother) trip to Wakanda.”
