Popping Culture (7th Edition)

Long popular with students who have used it, Popping Culture presents a compilation of articles dealing with current issues in popular culture, including media violence, sexuality, social inequality, racism, and war. Some of the leading theorists in cultural studies today, including Stuart Ewen, Mark Crispin Miller, William Hoynes, Henry Giroux and Christopher Sharrett among others, take on these subjects with a critical perspective aimed at “popping” the conceptual bubbles that surround them.

The articles are organized around central themes and issues in popular culture today: social class, gender, violence, ideology, and race.
