Book Synopsis Fragmented Identities by : Denise Roman
Download or read book Fragmented Identities written by Denise Roman. This book was released on 2007-04-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observing postcommunist Romania with the dual vision of a native and a scholar, Denise Roman focuses on the fluid act of identity-formation, and the construction or absence of identity-politics, in several minority or disempowered groups: youth, Jews, women, and queers. Roman shows how both aesthetic and moral judgments are born from and embedded in popular culture. Fragmented Identities is rich in observation and analysis, broad in scope, and exuberant in its account of cultural innovation and discourse wrought in response to the end of Communism and the influence of globalization.
