Bøger i Politics, Media, and Popular Culture serien

Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Popular culture constructs our perceptions of law and changes the way that players in the legal system behave. This book explores the interface between two subjects of enormous importance to everyone.

Reviewing commercial films and documentaries, this text illustrates the myriad ways that film and popular culture shape our understanding of capitalism and democracy, war and terrorism, civil rights and social justice, campaigns and elections and the presidency. It includes chapters on media, human rights and the environment.
