A Review of "Atlanta"'s "FUBU": On Power
Quiros, Julian
Equity & Excellence in Education, v51 n3-4 p454-456 2018
This media review focuses on one of "Atlanta"'s episodes entitled "FUBU." The episode is utilized as a proxy to provide a critique of American society and its power relations in everyday life. "Atlanta" and its writers use television as their vehicle to create critical and constructive discourse in spaces that they would otherwise not be able to physically occupy. Out of this, the hope is that this discourse leads to healthier interaction in the educational spaces facilitated by educators with an understanding of the social forces at play.
