This Reader provides a comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary papers on Popular Culture. Key works from Adorno to Williams are included, as well as a wide range of contemporary and international perspectives that engage with the dynamic changes that combine to generate 'popular culture' today. Rai Guins and Omayra Cruz offer a resource with which to understand the pervasive role of popular culture and the processes that constitute it as; A product of industry; An intellectual object of inquiry; An integral component of people's lives. The volume is divided into 7 thematic sections, and each section is preceded by an introduction which engages with, and critiques, the chapters that follow.
