"The Great American Makeover" explores two basic questions: How do
myths of self-reinvention shape America's past, and how do
contemporary television makeover programs continue and question
this long-standing tendency to celebrate the fundamental powers of
American transformation? This collection demonstrates that the
makeover mythos is a crucial link between earlier and emergent
forms and processes of engagement with the national imaginary. It
demonstrates the tenacity of the American fantasy of recreation and
its enduring ability to speak to our shifting national desires and
anxieties. At the same time, the volume speaks to American popular
television's own enduring ability to reinvent itself.
