Sinossi

Disney Urban Legends explores the captivating world of myths and conspiracies surrounding Disney, delving into the origins and cultural impact of stories like Walt Disney's supposed cryopreservation or subliminal messages embedded in animated classics. These legends, while often dismissed as mere folklore, reveal our collective fascination with Disney's pervasive influence and raise questions about corporate power and cultural values. The book highlights how these narratives reflect societal anxieties and desires, shaping public perception of a global entertainment empire.

 
The book takes a comprehensive approach, separating fact from fiction by analyzing a range of sources, from archival materials and interviews to online forums. It progresses by first introducing the concept of urban legends within the Disney context. It then deconstructs popular rumors surrounding Disney animated films, theme parks, and the figure of Walt Disney himself. This study connects these myths to broader themes in history, film studies, and sociology, offering readers a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between Disney, its audience, and the stories they tell themselves.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced perspective, providing a nuanced exploration of why these myths persist without sensationalism. By investigating the historical, cultural, and psychological factors at play, Disney Urban Legends offers a blend of entertainment and scholarship, making it valuable for Disney enthusiasts, film buffs, and anyone interested in popular culture and the power of storytelling.

  • From Mammies to Militants - Domestics in Black American Literature from Charles Chesnutt to Toni Morrison - cover

    From Mammies to Militants -...

    Trudier Harris

    From Charles Chesnutt's The Marrow of Tradition to Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Black writers, some of whom worked as maids themselves, have manipulated the stereotype in a strategic way as a figure to comment on Black-white relations or to dramatize the conflicts of the Black protagonists. In fact, the characters themselves, like real-life maids, often use the stereotype to their advantage or to trick their oppressors. 
     
     
     
    Harris combines folkloristic, sociological, historical, and psychological analyses with literary ones, drawing on her own interviews with Black women who worked as domestics. She explores the differences between Northern and Southern maids and between "mammy" and "militant." Often privileging political statements over realistic characterization in the design of their texts, the authors in Harris's study urged Black Americans to take action to change their powerless conditions, politely if possible, violently if necessary. 
     
     
     
    In her new afterword, "From Militants to Movie Stars," Harris looks at domestic workers in African American literature after the original publication of her book in 1982. Exploring five subsequent literary treatments of Black domestic workers, Harris tracks how the landscape of representation of domestic workers has broken with tradition and continues to transform into something entirely new.
