This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Barbie's role in shaping societal perceptions of identity, gender, race, and sexuality. It traces Barbie's journey from a post-war American doll reflecting stereotypical ideals to a significant cultural icon whose image both reflects and influences complex contemporary discussions on identity. By situating Barbie in her historical and social context, this book explores how this iconic doll has navigated and, at times challenged, is shifting societal norms.

Its rigorous theoretical framework and balanced perspective make it an essential resource for those interested in consumer culture, identity formation, and media representations. By engaging with Barbie's complex legacy, this book provides a timely and thought-provoking contribution to discussions about the intersections of identity, representation, and popular culture.
