    1. In this chapter, Wacquant compares the prison to that of the ghetto as they both have the objective of isolating a dangerous population (the black subproleteriat) in order to reconstruct the ethno-racial division and to force this population into desocialized wage work instead of the illegal market. Slavery, Jim Crowe Laws, and the ghetto in the Northern metropolis were all used to separate Blacks from Whites and to extract black labor either for free or at very low costs by having them work in low-wage, low-skill work. However, the prison has replaced the crumbling ghetto as the means to deal with the worst individuals of the black subproleteriat who cannot find work or refuse to work.…

    Brandon Avendano APUSH 03-12-18 P4 Short Answer Rewrite 3. During the 1960s and 1970s, the US experienced a wave of social movements, ranging from gay rights to latino problems. These movements all sought for change and got backlash from not only other groups of people, but from the government itself. From all of the movements during this time, the Black Panther Movement experienced the harshest response from the government. The movement began for the advocacy for a black history class to be taught in Merritt College, however, it truly sparked in response to Malcolm X’s assassination and the killing of an unarmed person of color in San Francisco.…

    Moral panic can be defined in many different ways. One way where “Moral panic” can be better understood is by defining it as a concept as panic, fear, morals and/or “a state intervention greatly exceed the objectives threat posed to society by a particular individual or group” (Bonn Scott, Psychology today). It can also be defining as ideology of what’s wrong and and right beliefs. Like discussed in class, moral panics can be presented in both ideology and social justice. Although Professor Palakoff explained ideology and social justice, idealogy plays a bigger role to the understanding of the film “The black panthers”.…

    The Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPPSD) whose beliefs followed the practices of Malcolm X was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. It started as a political grass-root organization with a hand full of members and over time expanded into a national and international party. However, by 1980 the Black Panther Party of Self Defense was an Oakland- based organization again, with no more than twenty-seven active members and by 1982 the party came to an end. I am arguing that due to Huey Newton taking on much of the Panthers power within the organization and the governments covert operation ‘COINTELPRO’, launched between 1968 and 1971, both had a huge influence in the quietus of the Black Panther Party…

    The definition of a black film would seem to be an easy standard to mutually agree on. Films about the people and culture of the African diaspora would satisfy most definitions, but issues arrive when black people are poorly represented and stereotyped or when the definition excludes other cultures from discussing black culture when they could also give a fair and thoughtful representation in Black Cinema. Thomas Lott argues that it can be hard to identify what makes quality black films because there must be an analysis of the separate concepts blackness and cinema. In his article “ “A No-Theory Theory of Contemporary Black Cinema,” Lot provides a compelling reason why his no theory approach provides a satisfying and open-ended approach to defining Black Cinema. Lott references Thomas Cripps’ Black film as Genre, Cripps to discuss a proposed definition of Black films to be defined as movies produced, written, directed, performed by, and performed for black people.…

    The recent film, Black Panther by Ryan Coogler, might’ve been one of the best sci-fi movies I’ve ever seen. The film surpasses the African stereotype by showing how high tech and advanced the people of Wakanda are. The African nation was made up of skyscrapers, high tech gadgets and weapons, aircrafts, etc-all made within the Wakanda. In the film, the King of Wakanda, T’Challa, faces his long lost cousin as they compete for leadership and the throne of Wakanda. We will discuss why Black Panther was such an extravagant film and what made it so much different from the rest of sci-fi films.…

    The name “Black Panther” holds a different connotation to it depending on who you ask. For some it may be more literal and referring to the actual animal, for others it harkens back to the civil rights group formed in the 1960s. Now however, people are familiar with the term because of the superhero movie released on February 16th of this year. The movie tells the story of T’Challa, King of the fictional African country Wakanda, who returns back to his home country to find that he has a challenger who wants his throne. Yet, boiling Black Panther down to just another “superhero movie” feels disingenuous because the film provides so much more than fighting scenes, action shots, and an obnoxious villain.…
