Description

<p>Starting at a prestigious Australian private girls' school, fifteen-year-old Ziggy Klein is confronted with an alienating social hierarchy that hurls her into the arms of her grade's most radical feminists. As PC culture collides with her friends' morphing ideology and her parents' kinky sex life, Ziggy's understanding of gender, race, and class begins to warp. Ostracized at school, she seeks refuge in Donna Haraway's seminal feminist text "A Cyborg Manifesto" and discovers an indisputable alternative identity--or so she thinks. A controversial Indian guru, a mean clique of blondes known as the Cates, and her own Holocaust-surviving grandmother propel Ziggy through a series of misidentifications, culminating in a date-rape revenge plot so confused it just might work.</p><p>Uproariously funny, but written with extraordinary acuity about the intersections of gender, sexual politics, race, and technology, <em>Inappropriation</em> is a riotous satire of identity politics that announces Lexi Freiman as a brilliant and fearless new talent.</p>
