About this product
Product Information
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.

Woltmann has assembled an intriguing collection of essays that explore contemporary progressive and/or problematic adaptations of the Cinderella narrative. Using the perspective of "wokeness," contributors describe how the characters and story lines of modern Cinderella-like tales (e.g., films such as The Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City, The Princess and the Frog, Deaf Cinderella, The Lost Heir, Inglourious Basterds; television series such as Once upon a Time, Grimm, Game of Thrones) attempt to promote an awareness of female empowerment and social injustice and challenge canonical gendered scripts and expectations. Throughout, contributors also demonstrate how these tales offer novel portrayals of agency and forgiveness; reframe narratives about (step)families; reinforce problematic, regressive, and "un-woke" messages; espouse pro-, post-, and anti-feminist values; and make reference to past Cinderella-like texts (e.g., Chance the Rapper's track "Zanies and Fools" makes reference to Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1957 production of Cinderella--a production that, with its themes of longing, possibility, and fantasy, espouses queer orientations to time). A well-written and well-researched book for those interested in literature and popular culture, mythology and folklore, and how stories can inspire, or inhibit, cultural change. Highly recommended., If you think you know the true Cinderella tale, forget it! Suzy Woltmann's collection of provocative and insightful essays, Woke Cinderella: Twenty-First-Century Adaptations, demonstrates that numerous writers and filmmakers have rewritten the classic Charles Perrault and Brothers Grimm versions in unusual ways, revealing that Cinderella had many sides to her and was not really the wimp she seemed to be, wishing only to marry a prince. The essays in this volume have brought a 21st-century acumen to a story that deserves to be adapted over and over again., Fans of the fairy tale surprised to discover woke Cinderella will enjoy delving into her feminist, queer, deaf, non-human animal, cyborg, and other postmodern manifestations in mainly American novels, films, and television. Unpromising characters from Disney and from mainstream Hollywood display their politically and culturally savvy wokeness, while apparently promising characters may fall short. Fairy-tale scholars will appreciate the diversity of examples and points of view, and their students will welcome the 21st-century subject matter.

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
