Abstract:
"Popular Culture: A Broadview Topics Reader is an accessible, current collection of non-fiction writing intended for composition students and students of popular culture. The reader takes a broad view of popular culture, encompassing subjects such as advertising, code-switching, social media, self-driving cars, hip hop, the body positivity movement, and cultural appropriation. A wide variety of genres are represented, from personal and literary essays to journalism and academic writing, and the reader features the work of celebrated writers including James Baldwin, Naomi Klein, Roland Barthes, Zadie Smith, and Emily Nussbaum. Selections are arranged by theme; the book also includes an alternative table of contents listing material by genre and rhetorical style, as well as suggested pairings of pieces that complement each other. A headnote, explanatory notes, and discussion questions facilitate student engagement with each piece. A selection of color images features advertisements, journalistic photography, and other materials for engaging classroom discussion."--
