"This book makes a wonderfully insightful contribution to the field of popular culture. It is to be praised for its global focus and enlightening discussion of topics such as consumption, identity, hybridity, fashion, hip hop, visual culture and social networking. Overall, students of popular culture will strongly benefit from this book." - Craig Morris, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Greenwich, UK "A must for teaching the tools of cultural criticism, Ann Brooks's Popular Culture: Global Intercultural Perspectives robustly and thoroughly spans canonical and more contemporary writers to explore globally circulating hybrid cultures. Ambitious in its address of cultural theory, the book also engrosses with serendipitous case studies, ranging from influences on graffiti in Southeast Asia, to the bankruptcy of the Betsey Johnson fashion house, to the selling of Muslim rap." - Maud Lavin, Professor, Visual and Critical Studies and Art History, Theory and Criticism, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA
