"In this collection of essays, Henry Giroux demonstrates once again
that he is one of our leading public political intellectuals. Every
page is filled with the passion of his commitment both to social
and economic justice and to theoretical rigor. This collection
combines insightful readings of how specific films operate in the
current social context and original reflections on the central
theoretical and methodological issues facing cultural studies
today. This is a book that will move both students and
teachers."

"Henry Giroux is one of our most penetrating cultural critics.
In Breaking in to the Movies, he demonstrates how pleasure
and power, entertainment and public pedagogy, are always
intertwined in the culture of global capitalism. Giroux offers a
refreshing approach in a field often characterized by a paucity of
intellectual imagination. This is real cultural
criticism."
—Sut Jhally, University of Massachusetts
