Ms. Marvel, a Pakistani American teenager named Kamala Khan, is the latest superhero to join the Marvel Universe. Her superpower? Family bangles that carry the strength and power of intergenerational knowledge passed down by her grandmother from Pakistan.
But a lot of the magic behind the bangles has been lost to time, war, and trauma. And Kamala has yet to learn how to control these forces. Based on real historical events, Kamala's family was forcibly displaced and lost loved ones during the Partition of India in 1947. After India gained independence, the British Crown drew new borders and divided the region into secular India and a new Muslim territory: Pakistan. As a result, South Asia experienced one of the largest refugee crises in modern history, one that continues to impact families today, including the family of Ms. Marvel.
So what can Ms. Marvel teach us about the impact of Partition on families and intergenerational trauma? And how does the superhero genre allow us to reckon with darker aspects of world history? We speak to one of the writers of Ms. Marvel, Fatimah Asghar, and the founder of the 1947 Partition Archive, Dr. Guneeta Singh Bhalla, about why retelling our history, in both fiction and nonfiction, is so important today.

This song’s revival after 37 years is largely thanks to season 4 of Stranger Things, where (spoiler alert) the song serves as a talisman for one of the characters to protect herself from the demons of an alternate universe. But what makes this song’s overnight success even wilder is the fact that Bush owns the copyrights to her own recordings, which means she may be keeping as much as 80% of her earnings, a very unusual scenario for musicians today.
So what does “Running Up that Hill” tell us about the history of music royalties? How has Kate Bush been challenging the music industry since the 70s?

In fact, the first vampires (dating back to the 1800s!) were actually women. This genre of literature gave writers an outlet to explore female sexuality and societal taboos, leading to a cult of lesbian vampire films in the 60s and 70s. Today, TV shows like True Blood and First Kill are reintroducing this trope to mainstream platforms. Joined by Monstrum’s Emily Zarka and special guest Annie Rose Malamet, let’s take a look at why there are so many lesbian vampire films and what they tell us about the evolution of the feminist movement.

Perhaps it's because Black kung fu films reigned in the 1970s – a fusion of Blaxploitation and kung fu where protagonists took justice into their own hands…in style! These films were wildly popular, a welcome response to the anger many people felt against societal injustice. What was happening in the 70s that led to the growth of Black films and the popularity of Hong Kong kung fu flicks?

With ongoing protests across the United States and the globe against law enforcement violence and extrajudicial killings of people in Black, brown, and impoverished communities, the world is contemplating the place of police in our society. Some argue for reforms, others for defunding, and others still for the complete abolition of police.
This isn't the first time any of these things have happened. Today, Danielle looks at policing, from its colonial night watch origins to the modern-day, as well as attempts to change the institution over time.
