Between the Masks Resisting the Politics of

Between the Masks articulates a study of representation and the _politics of place_ through a pedagogy of narrative-performing inquiry and a critical reflection on identity. As a resistance to essentialist politics, the text focuses on the identity making/marking role of cultural materials in the recovery of different and overdetermind histories. It proposes a multicultural revision of knowledge that displaces the binarisms of insider/outside rather than simply shifting the margin to the center.

Diane DuBose Brunner is Associate Professor of English and Director of English Education at Michigan State University.
