Popular Culture

This edition delivers contemporary perspectives on popular culture, with the majority of the material reflecting stances of countries other than the United States. Readers are offered a truly panoramic view. Essays are arranged in a thoughtful sequence that guides readers through several sides to each topic covered. Does television create obesity? Should manga depicting child pornography illegal? Could China benefit from stronger intellectual property laws? Essays answer these and other questions about pop culture. Helpful features include an annotated table of contents, a world map and country index, a bibliography, and subject index.
