“A bold book, written with passion and verve, that challenges us to take a serious look at the role of popular culture in creating citizenship and democracy. It is that rare thing: a brilliant book for studying methods but also a political call for engagement.” Christine Geraghty, University of Glasgow "Hitting all the highlights of popular culture analysis, Joke Hermes reasserts the thesis that popular culture is a domain in which we practice the reinvention of who we are, while acknowledging the pitfalls of such a belief." Andrea Press, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
