Some experiences in Buck come from the negative representation of woman, oppression of Malo, Amina, and Uzi, and Afrocentricity of Chaka. By observing this, M.K. Asante’s book, Buck, can be viewed through a Feminism, Marxism, and New Historicism theoretical lens.

Stuhldreher claims that Cullen, who had initially been skeptical about the program, witnessed an increase in student’s enthusiasm and effort, even though test-taking is not a priority for students with adult responsibilities or in extreme circumstances. Stuhldreher presents Cullen’s observations in order to demonstrate that people who were originally incredulous about the program’s success have now become supporters after noticing positive outcomes in student’s attitudes.
