Glass slippers, a fairy godmother, a ball, a prince, an evil
stepfamily, and a poor girl known for sitting amongst the ashes:
incarnations of the "Cinderella" fairy tale have resonated
throughout the ages. Hidden between the lines of this fairy tale
exists a history of fantasy about agency, power, and empowerment.
This book examines twenty-first-century "Cinderella" adaptations
that envision the classic tale in the twenty-first century through
the lens of wokenesss by shifting rhetorical implications and
self-reflexively granting different possibilities for protagonists.
The contributors argue that the "Cinderella" archetype expands past
traditional takes on the passive princess. From Sex and the City to
Game of Thrones, from cyborg "Cinderellas" to Inglorious Basterds,
contributors explore gender-bending and feminist adaptations,
explorations of race and the body, and post-human and post-truth
rewritings. The collection posits that contemporary "Cinderella"
adaptations create a substantive cultural product that both inform
and reflect a contemporary social zeitgeist.
