Abstract
Mapping the discursive convergence of Black consumer citizenship as uplift and the American Dream, chapter 3, “From Bootstraps to Glass Slippers: Black Women’s Uplift in Disney’s Princess Canon,” examines how Black women cultural producers used embodied objectification to create Disney/ABC’s Cinderella (1997) and Disney’s The Princess and the Frog (2009), which changed Cinderella’s rags-to-riches with a prince narrative to one where Black women are change agents, creating their own opportunities for success and self-fulfilment. Alongside the rise of multiculturalism as a marker for the harnessing of Black symbolic power to sell Black culture, this chapter argues that Black women cultural producers shaped the imaginative space available for Black girls within popular princess narratives, presenting Black women characters as hyperindustrious and deserving of love.
