In The Post-Liberal Imagination, Bruce Baum approaches American liberalism in a critical spirit by examining the relationship between popular culture and politics in the Bush-Obama era. The book explores how contemporary popular culture plays a formative role in contemporary politics. Through analyzing movies, television, and popular music, the author discusses how these cultural productions illuminate notable political scenes of the American cultural landscape. In doing so, he provokes us to rethink liberal imaginings of democracy, equality, racism, dissent, and animals rights.

Industry Reviews

"Here comes the boom! That's what happens when Bruce Baum brings political theory to popular culture. He deftly analyzes the un-utterable subtext of today's cinema, TV and more, to highlight how they participate in the death of the social, the erasure of structural causes of our current inequitable society and misguided valorization of individual ability and effort as the prime forces why class, race and gender disparities exist. Going to the movies has never been so politically edifying! The Post-Liberal Imagination: Political Scenes from the American Cultural Landscape is an important work of political scholarship." - Sanford Schram, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, Hunter College, CUNY, USA
