By examining the perilous intersections of identity, categorization, and community, contributors challenge societal mores and countercultural norms. <i>Nobody Passes</i> explores and critiques the various systems of power seen (or not seen) in the act of "passing." In a pass-fail situation, standards for acceptance may vary, but somebody always gets trampled on. This anthology seeks to eliminate the pressure to pass and thereby unearth the delicious and devastating opportunities for transformation that might create. Mattilda, aka Matt Bernstein Sycamore, has a history of editing anthologies based on brazen nonconformity and gender defiance. Mattilda sets out to ask the question, "What lies are people forced to tell in order to gain acceptance as 'real'." The answers are as varied as the life experiences of the writers who tackle this urgent and essential topic. 133228 6 11 2006 Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity total:297|5:111|4:126|3:55|2:4|1:1| 297 1233 684 57 3 1 false false Tue Dec 09 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 13:52:12 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 10:18:59 -0800 2008 Dacumos talks about going to Smith College being a brown, low-income...
