Eileen Meehan, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
"In varied writings, Frederick Wasser has established himself as
a trenchant commentator on contemporary movies and the media
industry behind them. Now, with his sharp, concise study of Steven
Spielberg's complex resonances for America today, Wasser extends
his critical reflection in important, new ways. This is a
compelling, intelligent take on the director and his social
role."
Dana Polan, New York University
"A masterful case study that illuminates aspects of American
politics and culture through the work of one filmmaker. Wasser
deftly weaves a sophisticated analysis of Spielberg and his films
with a provocative look at corporate Hollywood and capitalist
America. A great addition to film and media studies."
Janet Wasko, University of Oregon
