"I existed in a world of borderland of acceptable and not, sometimes more on one side, sometimes more on another." (Vo 42)
From an intersectional perspective, The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo successfully calls attention to the intersectional nature of identity through the novel's protagonist, Jordan Baker, by examining how distinctive experiences regarding one's race, gender, and social stature equally integrate with one another to shape an individual's unique persona, providing a meaningful perspective on how the diverse experiences that shape an individual's personality emphasize the value of embracing individuality.
