A variety of theoretical approaches to the study of culture have
emphasised the significance of the creation, maintenance, and the
transgression of boundaries to identities - be they social,
cultural, national or personal. The essays collected in this book,
first published in 1997, explore the creation of identities in
American culture through analysis of the boundaries within and
across which American identity is negotiated. The dissemination of
cultural identity and the creation of national identity through
this process has had a crucial impact on the shape of social life
in post-war American culture. The contributors to this volume offer
a variety of perspectives on this richly complicated process.

An anthology of bedtime stories that are definitely not for
children. Just what kind of happy goes into "happily ever after?"
As children, it was enough that Pinocchio got to be a real boy and
that Red wasn't eaten by the wolf. As adults, we have a slightly
different perspective. Being a real boy means having boy parts, and
being eaten by someone big and bad doesn't mean quite the same
thing it once did. Ever wonder what mermaids do with the swimmers
they seduce? Or why a dragon might prefer a castle-guarded princess
to a nice, easy field of sheep? What if your fairy godmother wasn't
circumspect in what wishes could be granted, or if that dainty
little fairy had a much bigger appetite than one might guess?
