Includes bibliographical references (p. [185]-199) and index.

"They're After Us!": Criminality and Hegemony in Huckleberry Finn --Stephen Crane and Maggie's White Other -- One of None: Quasi-Hybridityin The Sun Also Rises -- Back to the Future: Suttree (and The Pioneers) -- L.A. Punk's Sub-Urbanism -- Repo Man, Ambivalence, and the GenericMediation -- Whither Agency?

Traber reexamines the practice of self-marginalization in Euro-American literature and popular culture that depict whites adopting varied markers of otherness to disengage from the dominant culture. He draws oncritical theory, whiteness and cultural studies to counter an eager correlation between marginality and agency. The nonconformist cultural politics of these border crossings implode since the transgressive identity the protagonists desire relies upon, is built from, the center's values and definitions. An orthodox notion of individualism underpins eachact of sovereignty as it rationalizes exploiting stereotypes of an Other constructed by the center. The work closes by positing atheory of identity based on Jean-Luc Nancy's concept of the emptied self. In recognizing the alreadymixed quality of being, identity is made a vacuous concept as the standards for determining self anddifference become too slippery to hold.
