"Breaking down the assumptions and judgements hidden in snow globes, pens, and golf balls printed with immigrant family images, Rand argues that America doesn't honor all heritages equally." --"University of Chicago Magazine", " The Ellis Island Snow Globe is a wonderfully creative, playful, and serious piece of scholarship. Demonstrating that pleasure and critique need not be incompatible, Erica Rand offers not only a model for thinking about contemporary capitalism but a way to live in it."--Miranda Joseph, author of Against the Romance of Community, "Much as she did in her earlier book, Barbie's Queer Accessories , Erica Rand turns a kitsch artifact of consumer culture into a powerful tool for cultural analysis. In this insightful and engaging new work, she transforms an Ellis Island snow globe into a window through which we see how state control of borders and migrations structure sexuality, gender, desire, and family in unexpected ways. One of the best cultural studies books I've read in a long time."--Susan Stryker, producer and co-director, Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria " The Ellis Island Snow Globe is quite simply a great book. Destined to become a classic in contemporary cultural studies, it is one of the few books I've read in the last year or so that has taught me something new on every page."--Henry Jenkins, co-editor of Hop on Pop: The Politics and Pleasures of Popular Culture The Ellis Island Snow Globe is a wonderfully creative, playful, and serious piece of scholarship. Demonstrating that pleasure and critique need not be incompatible, Erica Rand not only offers a model for thinking about contemporary capitalism but a way to live in it."--Miranda Joseph, author of Against the Romance of Community, "Much as she did in her earlier book, Barbie's Queer Accessories, Erica Rand turns a kitsch artifact of consumer culture into a powerful tool for cultural analysis.

It may not be possible or practical to alter the interpretation of Ellis Island to reflect all of her suggestions, but a good start would be to stock The Ellis Island Snow Globe in the Ellis Island gift shop." --Aldona Sendzikas, "Australasian Journal of American Studies", "[F]or those readers willing to trust Rand, "The Ellis Island Snow Globe" offers a reading experience that not only revises familiar stories of sex, race, citizenship, and commerce, but also tells that story in a creative and engaging way." --LeiLani Nishime, "Journal of American Ethnic History", " The Ellis Island Snow Globe is a wonderfully creative, playful, and serious piece of scholarship. Demonstrating that pleasure and critique need not be incompatible, Erica Rand offers not only a model for thinking about contemporary capitalism but a way to live in it."-Miranda Joseph, author of Against the Romance of Community, “Much as she did in her earlier book, Barbie’s Queer Accessories , Erica Rand turns a kitsch artifact of consumer culture into a powerful tool for cultural analysis.

Rand's grappling with complex questions of social justice, image, and products is gutsy and fascinating." --Donna Seaman, "Booklist", “ The Ellis Island Snow Globe is quite simply a great book.

Synopsis
In The Ellis Island Snow Globe , Erica Rand, author of the smart and entertaining book Barbie's Queer Accessories , takes readers on an unconventional tour of Ellis Island, the migration station turned heritage museum, and its neighbor, the Statue of Liberty. By pausing to reflect on what is and is not on display at these two iconic national monuments, Rand focuses attention on whose heritage is honored and whose obscured. She also reveals the shifting connections between sex, money, material products, and ideas of the nation in everything from the ostensible father-mother-child configuration on an Ellis Island golf ball purchased at the gift shop to the multi-million dollar July 4, 1986 Liberty Weekend extravaganza celebrating the Statue's centennial just days after the Supreme Court's un-Libertylike decision upholding the antisodomy laws challenged in Bowers v. Hardwick . Rand notes that portrayals of the Statue of Liberty as a beacon for immigrants tend to suppress the Statue's connections to people brought to this country by force. She examines what happened to migrants at Ellis Island whose bodies did not match the gender suggested by the clothing they wore. In light of contemporary ideas about safety and security, she examines the "Decide an Immigrant's Fate" program, which has visitors to Ellis Island act as a 1910 board of inspectors hearing the appeal of an immigrant about to be excluded from the country. Rand is a witty, insightful, and open-minded tour guide, able to synthesize numerous diverse ideas--about tourism, immigration history, sexuality, race, ethnicity, commodity culture, and global capitalism--and to candidly convey her delight in her Ellis Island snow globe.

- e***e (1545)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI always research sellers before buying, and I noticed most of this seller’s negative feedback stems from not offering combined shipping...despite providing a clear and reasonable explanation in their listings. I purchased two $19.99 TPBs for just $12.70 total (only $1.00 each!), and considering eBay charges sellers fees on shipping too, I think the shipping costs were more than fair. That’s basically 70% off MSRP. The condition was accurate, and shipping was fast. Thanks again!
