Introducing almost half a century of the best scholarship on popular culture in the USA, this fully revised second edition has a more focused historical remit, with analysis and primary source material from the 1830s to the present. Each main essay examines a pivotal moment, issue or genre in American popular culture, from the 'penny press' to the Internet.

This new edition, along with its extended reading lists, illuminating contextual commentary, and chronologies of major events, make it an ideal undergraduate text for media and cultural studies courses. With enhanced presentation of scholarly and primary source material aimed at prompting and guiding student discussions, this carefully assembled selection offers both a historical overview and detailed cultural analysis.
