Description

The media, American culture and political power are bound together in an association in which the stakes increase daily. This book is a radical attempt to lay out the complex ways in which the American media and American culture are powerfully interlocked. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers in American studies and cultural studies.

Description

The Hollywood Presidency of Ronald Reagan was founded on the skills of the 'Great Communicator'; Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' is used by the Chrysler Corporation to assure us that the 'pride is back'; feminists and right-wing militants converge to oppose pornography; racial tensions increased when the Cosby show tops the ratings. This book is a radical attempt to lay out the complex ways in which the American media and American culture are powerfully interlocked.
