Abstract | Examines biographies of talk show host and producer Oprah Winfrey in which conventional narratives construct a token "Oprah" persona whose story reinforces the ideology of the American Dream, implying its accessibility to black Americans despite barriers inherent in a racist society. Develops theories of tokenism, biography, autobiography, and hegemony to analyze racial/gendered dimensions of tokenist biography. (PA) |
