Description

This book illuminates the ways that reimagining known narratives can create space for empowerment. From socially conscious adaptations of classic American literature to postmodern mythic remixes, and from queerly fragmented fairy tales to the postcolonial palimpsest, the adaptations addressed in this book fell, retell, and awaken the literary canon. They use the rhetorical tools of collaborative originality, intertextual queering, and perspective plurality to interrogate conventions and problematize norms.

Collectively, this book argues for adaptations' intersectional cultural and conceptual impact. Employing a diverse approach that interweaves multiple literary theoretical approaches, it brings attention to the unique power of reframing stories.
