Interpellation as a book category centers on how people are "hailed" into identities and social roles by culture, institutions, language, and power—works that examine, dramatize, or resist the ways ideology calls a reader or character into being. Drawing on critical theory (especially Althusser's notion of ideological interpellation) but spanning fiction, memoir, essays, and hybrid forms, these books foreground questions of selfhood, agency, surveillance, rhetoric, and consent: who gets to name you, how that naming shapes desires and behavior, and what happens when the call is refused, redirected, or reclaimed. Stylistically they often use direct address, metafiction, documentary fragments, and close analysis of media and institutions to make readers aware of how they themselves are interpellated. The category appeals to readers interested in political and philosophical critique, experimental narrative, identity studies, and works that provoke reflection and action about the social forces that shape subjectivity.
