"In putting together a reader on Hustler, football hooligans,
hip-hop, soap operas, and Dolly Parton, Harrington and Bielby
demonstrate excellent taste. If you find that statement improbable,
you will expand your horizons by taking a look at the superb
scholarship contained in this collection. If, on the other hand,
you think it perfectly plausible, you will use this book anyway to
teach your courses, to guide your research, and to deepen your
understanding of the cultural seas in which we all swim." Wendy
Griswold, Northwestern University
"This book is a most welcome addition to the field of media
studies. Harrington and Bielby have chosen wisely by including a
range of historical and more contemporary pieces that explore the
production-consumption nexus in fresh and innovative ways. Art,
music, prime-time television, movies, sports, video games, urban
landscapes, all of this and more, will lead students and scholars
alike to think comparatively about popular culture." Ron Lembo,
Amherst College
