Book excerpt: The Marvel Cinematic Universe--comprised of films, broadcast television and streaming series and digital shorts--has generated considerable fan engagement with its emphasis on socially relevant characters and plots.

This collection of new essays examines those controversial themes and the ways they represent, construct and distort American culture.
