A large portion of Khoja-Moolji and Niccolini’s work addressed the issue of viewing whiteness as a standard for “normality.” How is race presented in Ms. Marvel? Reflect upon moments of racial awareness in Wilson’s text: what are Kamala’s feelings about her race and the races of her friends and family? Do they change at all over the course of the narrative? Discuss the presentation of tropes and visual signals during Kamala’s evolution. Does she need to become more “white” to become a more powerful woman?
