Question

Not unlike the homeplace(s) and enclave(s) of resistance presented by bell hooks and jane mansbridge, the (re)claiming of black identity and stories by black auteurs and actors represents an act of _________ and _________ of a black self.

Answer 1

The answer is: Resistance; recovery

During years of slavery and oppression, both the economic resource and cultural identity of the black community has been extremely exploited and claimed by the dominant culture.

The act of activism and the expression of art that performed by auteurs and actors could be considered as their effort to reclaim those that have been taken from them. It represents the act of resistance and recovery of a black self.
