"In this well researched book, Karen Sternheimer gives lie to a full spectrum of false fears about the effects of popular culture on young people. She provides valuable correctives to innumerable myths promulgated by opportunistic politicians, advocacy groups, and journalists." -Barry Glassner, University of Southern California; author of The Gospel of Food and The Culture of Fear "Sternheimer unpacks the media's penchant for sensationalizing and misdirecting public discourse about the real causes of poverty, disease, materialism, sexual license and substance abuse. & Revealing how frequently-and perniciously-social research is manipulated, Sternheimer demonstrates how to hold the media accountable while addressing the more entrenched and salient problem of child poverty that she believes is to blame." - Publishers Weekly "In Connecting Social Problems and Popular Culture , Karen Sternheimer delivers a necessary synthesis, with a devastating media analysis, in response to the prevalent cottage industry of exaggeration, myth, and invention about popular culture's impacts on youth behavior. And in layering a critique of society, class, and race over actual evidence she produces a work of great value to those working with or teaching about youth." -Anthony Bernier, San Jose State University "Sternheimer delivers a scholarly, highly readable debunking of the enthroned culture-war herd's facile blaming of 'pop culture' and 'the media' for everything about today's richly diverse young people the fear-mongers don't like. Sternheimer articulately challenges those who care about youth to stop letting perpetual panics over fictional bogeys obscure genuine threats like poverty, abuse, inequality, and rising anxiety toward healthy social change." -Mike Males, YouthFacts.org "The media and popular culture are routinely blamed for causing all the ills of the modern world. Karen Sternheimer's book shows how blaming the media distracts attention from the real problems that affect young people today, and prevents us from understanding how they use the media in their everyday lives. Clearly written and powerfully argued, this book deserves a wide readership well beyond the academy." -David Buckingham, Institute of Education, University of London "The author cautions against focusing on the media as predator and turns readers' attention to themselves and the society they create around and conceivably 'for' their children and families to better grasp how people create and perpetuate social problems. Well researched, with an attention to policy details, this book helpsdebunk the notion that media is the cause of society's ills. Highly recommended." -Choice "Focusing on & children and young adults, [Sternheimer's] main argument is that the intersection of race, gender, and poverty makes social problems significantly complex, and as a result, we blame popular culture for societal quandaries because it is easier to convince ourselves that television and video games are the cause of social disparities& Sternheimer asks us to take another look. Her book is a well written rationale as to why we should."

Synopsis
Is violence on the streets caused by violence in video games? Do hip-hop lyrics increase misogynistic and homophobic behavior? Are teens promiscuous because of what they see in movies? Popular culture is an easy answer for many of society's problems, but it is almost always the wrong answer. This innovative book goes beyond the news-grabbing headlines claiming that popular culture is public enemy number one to consider what really causes the social problems we are most concerned about. The sobering fact is that the roots of poverty, child abuse, and unequal public education are much more complicated than the media-made-them-do-it explanations. Karen Sternheimer deftly illustrates how welfare "reform," a two-tiered health care system, and other difficult systemic issues have far more to do with our contemporary social problems than Grand Theft Auto or 50 Cent., Tackling the essential social problems in America through a popular culture lens, this original book debunks the notion that the media is to blame for society's ills.

The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
