Problem
Based on the author's definition, explain your understanding of cultural appropriation, what it is, and what it is not. Do you feel the author provides adequate background to the topic? Explain.
Look up some of the examples provided by Malik. Explain whether you believe these examples advance or diminish his thesis. In order to better explain your answer, take a look at the Emmet Till example. What is problematic about Till's death in relation to the artist. If you don't know the history of Till, Google search. Do the same for the Durant example.
Does the author present a compelling argument? What are some specific strengths or weaknesses with the article?
