Book Overview
In this work, John Fiske analyzes the cultural wars in the United States today. The terrain over which these battles are being fought is charted in a series of case studies: black talk-radio; Elvis fans; homeless men; and TV sport. Fiske is critical of the elites in the United States today, but finds an optimistic voice when reviewing the imaginative use of evasion, reflection and resistance by those who reject their authority.

This is an outstanding reference for the American dilemma.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This publication gives the reader a dynamic understanding of the nature of mankind as it relates to power. We are able to see ourselves as we struggle to control everything in our environment under the disquise of seeking to understand things. It is extremely abstract and should be read with others to discuss general content and have group feedback. It offers some reasonable solutions to the problems in American culture today.
