520 1 $a""One of the most impressive aspects of Pop Culture Goes to War is the extent to which the topics and arguments are well documented, usually with sources drawn from a variety of disciplines and points of view. A work of this sort is much needed at a time when U.S. military power, domestic and global, is expandinga︣t a time when the political and popular cultures are increasingly being shaped by military priorities and agendas."C︣arl E. Boggs, National University at Los Angeles" ""This book provides an essential guide for the public to identify and deconstruct the pro-war messages lurking in much of commercial popular culture, including myths complicit with President Obama's sugar-coated militarism. Readers then learn how this menace to a potentially peaceful. America can be subverted and reclaimed by and for a savvy public. Commendably, the authors' clearly written text avoids jargon, making their crucial analysis available, to a broad audience."T︣homas Conroy, coeditor of Constructing America's War Culture: Iraq, Media, and the War at Home" ""Geoff Martin and Erin Steuter's Pop Culture Goes to War presents a compelling overview of popular culture's responses to the George W. Bushl︣ed 'War on Terror.' I found it readable, informative, and insightful, and I highly recommend it as a textbook or supplemental text for courses in sociology, history, and popular culture."T︣om Pollard, author of Sex and Violence: The Hollywood Censorship Wars" "Pop Culture Goes to 1/17ar explores the persistence of militarism in American popular culture in the War on Terror, from 9/11 to the present day. Geoff Martin and Erin Steuter detail the role of Hollywood and the entertainment industries in rallying both the troops and the public for war and show how toys, video games, music, and television support contemporary militarism. At the same time that popular culture is enlisting support for militarism, it is also serving as a major source of resistance to the War on Terror through the traditional mediums of music and movies, and increasingly through the humor and insight of antiwar artists who are jamming the culture of militarism. The satire of The Daily Show, The Simpsons, and South Park are further examples of so-called culture jamming. This book is for readers who question the persistence of a warrior culture and it offers new insights into the perpetuation of militaristic values throughout American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
