Why study popular culture? -- Popular culture expresses and constructs race: minstrel shows across two centuries, 1850-1950 -- Nineteenth-century audiences contribute to popular culture, 1849-1880 -- World's fairs, circuses, and wild west shows express ideas about U.S. imperialism, 1876-1918 -- Workers demand leisure time, 1866-1914 -- Movies, gender, and the making of fans, 1910-1935 -- Advertising and the culture of consumption, 1880-1930 -- Cars as popular culture: democracy, racial difference, and new technology, 1920-1939 -- Radio enters the home, 1920-1942 -- Defining popular music: the concept of authenticity and the role of culture brokers, 1935-1950 -- Television becomes part of the family, 1955-1965 -- Youth and popular culture during the Cold War, 1952-1960 -- Popular culture and globalization: beyond imperialism -- New media, new networks, new content, new methodologies: popular culture's past illuminates its future.

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE follows the highly successful Major Problems format. Each chapter comprises essays and documents that focus on a particular aspect of American popular culture. These essays and documents will prompt students to think about the centrality of popular culture in American life and its powerful role in forging identity, historical memory, and relationships among consumers, producers, citizens, and the state. They reinforce the idea that popular culture is the ground on which cultural and social transformations are worked. Race and class are at the center of the analysis, and these categories, along with gender and nationalism, thread through the chapters. They all argue for seeing popular audiences as active creators rather than passive receivers of popular culture. -- Publisher description.
