From a review by Andrew Sarris: this book is "an invaluable addition to the sociological literature of one of the few unifying spectacles in American life. The book brings together many interesting correlations between a community's alleged taste, and its underlying ideology. The author brings scholarly discipline to his subject without ever condescending to it." |
