Since its publication in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has enchanted generations with its whimsical characters, magical landscapes, and the universal quest for home. But beyond the surface lies a profound narrative—one that explores economic struggle, political symbolism, identity, and the construction of power. This book offers a historical and analytical exploration of L. Frank Baum’s masterpiece, moving beyond simple entertainment to reveal its intricate cultural, philosophical, and political layers. Whether you are a scholar, a teacher, or simply an avid fan, OZ: Journey, Power, Illusion invites you to walk the Yellow Brick Road anew—seeing each brick, each character, and each symbol not just as fantasy, but as a mirror reflecting our own societies, desires, and fears.
