Barbie and the Great American...

Karyne E. Messina

Barbie and the Great American Identity Crisis is not merely a book but a call to action-a rallying cry for societal introspection and transformation. With meticulous research and unflinching honesty, Dr. Karyne E. Messina offers a roadmap for reclaiming our integrity and forging a more just and equitable future. Engaging, insightful, and indispensable, this book is essential reading for anyone invested in the fate of our nation and the preservation of our collective identity. In Barbie and the Great American Identity Crisis, Dr. Messina ingeniously uses Barbie to symbolize the multifaceted identity crisis gripping America. Barbie's transformation from Lilli reflects the complexities of stolen identity and cultural appropriation, mirroring the broader societal struggle with individual and national identity.
Just as Mattel co-opted Barbie's identity from a German toymaker, America grapples with a loss of authenticity and integrity in its own narrative. Dr. Messina's exploration of Barbie's evolution serves as a poignant allegory for the broader issues at play, inviting readers to contemplate the profound implications of identity theft and cultural commodification. In essence, Barbie is our metaphorical lodestar, guiding readers through the labyrinthine complexities of America's identity crisis.
Through Barbie's lens, Dr. Messina illuminates the interconnectedness of personal and collective identity formation, shedding light on how societal pressures and external influences shape our sense of self and continue to perpetuate racism and patriarchal structures-that can hamper our ability to build an authentic sense of community free of tribal isolationism.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right" by Atul Gawande explores the use of checklists as a way to reduce errors and improve performance in complex situations. The book investigates how checklists, initially developed for aviation, have been applied in other fields like medicine and construction. Gawande examines how professionals often resist checklists, believing that their skills make them immune to error. The narrative demonstrates how even the most skilled individuals make mistakes, and that checklists act as a “cognitive net,” catching errors of memory, attention, and thoroughness. The book illustrates that checklists promote a culture of teamwork and discipline, and can save lives by ensuring critical steps are not missed and that teams communicate effectively.
