"essential reading for educators. Its gripping essays are written
by teachers courageously helping students of all ages grapple with
our media-saturated, commercially driven society. Their passion and
experiences provide fodder, hope, and roadmaps for anyone committed
to using the classroom to help children think critically and live
creatively." -- Susan Linn "Harvard Medical School, Co-founder and
Director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, author of
Consuming Kids: the Hostile Takeover of Childhood"
"This superb collection is based on the ... belief that popular
culture matters, that it is a place where young people's identities
are both expressed and shaped by forces beyond their control. The
essays collected here will provide teachers and educators with an
invaluable resource to think creatively about their own pedagogical
activities." -- Sut Jhally "Professor of Communication, University
of Massachusetts at Amherst, Founder and Director of the Media
Education Foundation"
