Abstract	Reconstructed fairy tales provide a different point of view and challenge the assumptions of a common set of values; for that reason, these stories provide a medium in which to examine power relationships in texts by applying a critical multicultural analysis (Botelho & Rudman, forthcoming, 2008, "A critical multicultural analysis of children's literature: Mirrors, windows and doors." New York: Lawrence Erlbaum) to identify and analyze power relations of "Rumpelstiltskin" (Grimm & Grimm, 1812/1987, New York: Bantam) and "Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter" (Stanley, 1997, New York: Morrow Junior Books). Specifically, this study examines how power is exercised on a continuum: domination, collusion, resistance, and agency. Findings indicate that by identifying and questioning text ideologies, critical readers can consider how texts maintain, counteract, or promote alternative systemic power structures. (Author).
