5.0 out of 5 stars Excavating Our National Narratives of Race and Gender, February 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: Cartographies of Desire: Captivity, Race, and Sex in the Shaping of an American Nation (Paperback)
Novelistic sweep combines with rigorous textual analysis to produce this compulsively readable excavation of our national narratives of race and gender. As Faery demonstrates, the stories by which we tell ourselves who we are twist, turn, mutate in response to the exigencies of the historical moment, yet the interests they have subserved have remained remarkably consistent.
